Summary
They called it friendship because it was easier to call it that rather than what it was becoming. They were Mel and Frank, and one day, they fell in love. Prior to that, they were the best of friends, and it's important that what they have isn't rushed. Frank won't make that mistake again. Neither will Mel.
OR:
Instead of Langdon and Robby having that conversation in the finale, they have it during the fireworks outside, and it's much more heated. Nasty words are exchanged, Langdon punches Robby in the face, and Robby tries to kill himself shortly after. And that night, punching an attending became the starting point of everything that comes after.
Which (coincidentally, in its own, twisted way) is how Mel and Frank come to be.

Summary
They were friends.
And yeah, maybe the ring on his finger sort of burned when he looked at her sometimes, even though it was just for show, now.
It was just easier to let her keep thinking he was still married to Abby. Safer.
It raised less eyebrows about the nature of their friendship when the ring stayed on while he was at work, the weight on his finger reminding him not to say or do anything stupid.
It also made it a little less creepy when the pet names started slipping out.

Summary
“But at least I got a soul still, even if I'm in a bad placе
Even if I'm eatin' fast food, sleepin' at my dad's place
I'm happy for your haircut, I'm glad you got your act clеan
You're showin' up like bad news and leavin' like a bad dream”Inspired by Haircut by Noah Kahan. Thought it kind of fits with Langdon's storyline pretty well.

Summary
He licked his lips and his throat bobbed. She exhaled sharply when his eyes went back to hers, his gaze heavily clouded with desire she also felt for him.
“You’re drunk, Mel.” He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “You don’t know what you’re doing.”
She shook her head. “I didn’t drink a single drop of alcohol tonight. I know what I’m doing, Frank.”
Mel was drunk and Frank took care of her. Somewhere along the way they found it hard to ignore that they are meant to be more than friends.
Set after Trinity and Mel went to the karaoke bar.
