Summary
“Walk me through what you’re thinking.”
Dr. Langdon’s voice came from behind her. Before she had the chance to turn, he stepped closer, leaning over her shoulder to look down at the screen.
It happened so fast. The warmth of him at her back. The clean scent of soap mixed with coffee and something else she couldn’t place. His hand reached around her to point at something on the screen and for half a second, his arm brushing against hers and she became acutely aware of the little space remaining between their bodies.
Her pulse stuttered. Any explanation she had died in her throat, instead only a quiet, choked noise came out. She was effectively frozen, completely against her control.
What the hell?
or
5 + 1 trope for Kingdon Week: 5 times Mel felt Langdon from behind & dealt with the emotional fallout, +1 when she let herself go and enjoyed him.

Summary
Consumed — Frank Langdon is sober, divorced, and trying very hard to keep his life under control. Then there’s Mel King: brilliant, strange, kind, and suddenly at the center of every thought he has. What starts as friendship built on movie nights, shared shifts, and quiet devotion turns into an all-consuming obsession Frank can’t outrun.
He’s convinced she could never want him back and too afraid to risk losing her to ask. But one hazy night changes everything, leaving Frank with exactly what he’s always wanted…and the fear he’s ruined it forever.
Frank Langdon was utterly fucked

Summary
Out of all of the nymphs in the grove, Mel had been one of the only ones not hoping to be chosen. It was an honor to be chosen. That's what Samira kept telling her. It was exciting to be chosen. That's what Becca kept telling her. You can run, and I won't try and stop you was Trinity's only input.
But Mel wasn't going to run.

Summary
“It’s kinda stupid, but Abby always liked the clean shaved look,” he explains, “and we’ve been separated for months now and I just wanted to try No Shave November for the first time.”
“Well it looks good on you,” she says before she can stop herself.
“Does it?” he says, brightening considerably. “Abby always hated it—made me shave it off immediately.”
“I think it’s nice,” she remarks, eyes roving over his face. She’s not sure what about it is so enticing, but there’s just something about Frank’s square jaw, his chin dimple, his dark brows, even his bright blue eyes, that stand out more with the addition of the coarse hair along his jawline, around his mouth.
She wonders what it feels like.
Or, Mel shows up to work with a ponytail, and Frank shows up to work with stubble and both of them lose their damn minds over it :)
