Summary
“Dr. Langdon,” Mel said.
He looked over at her. She was outside on her balcony too, wearing plaid pajama pants and an oversized t-shirt. Her hair was down.
“Frank,” he said.
“I haven’t seen you,” she said. She wrapped her arms around herself, hands hooked over her elbows.
“I’ve been laying low,” he said.
She looked up at the stars. He watched the pale line of her neck, the way her shoulders rolled back. She tucked her hair behind her ears and he watched that too. Mel had long, delicate fingers and pretty ears.
“Why?” Mel asked.
She’d come nearer to the railing between them and so as he spoke so did he. It was almost like they were on the same balcony, that way.
(Dr. Langdon disappears and Mel King gets a new neighbor.)

Summary
Dana said something in response, but Abby couldn’t hear her over the roar in her ears. Because she’d found Frank, standing next to the cooler with a water bottle in one hand, a Diet Coke in the other, engrossed in a conversation. And Abby knew who she was immediately, even if she’d never met her.
or frank + mel through folklore.

Summary
She watches him strut around headquarters, trying to look confident and purposeful as he searches for a reason to be there—orbiting Mel, while being quietly consumed by something she isn't sure he has the cojones to face.
Trinity sighs, weighing her vendetta against Mel's happiness. She really is getting a martyr complex, just like the rest of these sick fucks.
(Kingdon, reluctantly witnessed and orchestrated by Trinity Santos, who kinda has her own thing going on and doesn't need this right now)

Summary
“I’m sorry.” She said quietly. “Do you - do you want to hide in here with me?” She knew that someone would come looking for Frank before long but she hoped it wouldn’t be for at least a few more minutes.
