Summary
“Are you worried about getting eaten by a bear?” Langdon asked, glancing at her.
“I’m actually more worried about you getting eaten by a bear,” Mel said. “And then me having to tell your wife and kids that I just stood by and watched it happen because I don’t know how to fight a bear. You’re not supposed to fight grizzlies, but I don’t think we’d see one of those here unless it’s really lost, or got loose from the zoo. And black bears, I know you’re supposed to try to stand tall and then find a weapon, but I’m not very tall, and I don’t always have good aim. I mean, sometimes I do, but if I’m trying to fight off a bear, I don’t think I’ll be able to throw very straight.”
Langdon’s head rolled as he listened. “You won’t have to tell my wife and kids that I was eaten by a bear, Mel.”
“You don’t know that,” she said.
“I promise.”

Summary
“Um.” Mel looked down. “I still don’t know what everyone’s talking about. Honestly. That’s just how he looks at me.”
Diana’s eyebrows shot up. “You’re saying he looks at you like that often?”
Mel rolled her head. “I mean, we work together a lot. Maybe I’m not seeing what other people are seeing because to me, that’s just… how he looks.” She glanced at Langdon, who was looking at her the same way he always did, and for some reason, it made the feather dance that time, and she had to look away.

Summary
He watched as Mel squeezed her eyes shut for a brief second, drawing in a deep breath before finally starting toward him just as the music shifted. The booming bass faded into something slower now, softer, romantic enough that it made the entire room feel warmer.
And God, it genuinely felt like he’d stepped straight into a rom-com.

Summary
As a journalist, Frank had trained himself over the years to stay focused and efficient—ask the right questions, gather the information he needed, move cleanly from one subject to the next without lingering too long.
But every instinct he had around Mel seemed to work differently.
Something in him wanted to slow down with her. To let her take her time. To become someone she could hand these things to without worrying they’d be dismissed or mishandled.
