Summary
Frank starts peppering kisses all over her face, from her cheeks to her nose to her jaw. "You loooove me," he teases playfully, squeezing her waist as he keeps kissing her, making her laugh. "You wanna maaarry me."
"You're ridiculous," Mel tells him when he finally pulls away for longer than a second, but she's beaming up at him, and she's sure that the look on her face can only be described as "stupidly lovestruck." (Becca's words. Cheesy, but accurate.)
Frank smiles seeing it, and that's all that matters, really. He has a similar look on his face most of the time anyway.

Summary
It starts like this:
Frank gets caught. He does not voluntarily give up information about the stolen drugs – he gets caught.
Big difference.

Summary
Dr. Mel King has always been good for testing Frank Langdon’s self-restraint, so it figures she should be here now, standing at the foot of his bed in street clothes while he fights his way through a withdrawal sweat.
“It’s important that you know you’re not alone in this,” Mel says, fingers tented together in front of her chest. Her glasses are reflecting the clutter of his shitty rented bachelor pad, which she’s charitably pretending is very nice. He wasn’t expecting company. He wasn’t expecting to fall down a flight of train station stairs like an idiot. He wasn’t expecting to be transported to a Franklin Park hospital and shot up with fentanyl before he could climb out of concussion dreamland and stop them.
OR: Frank detoxes (again) and heals a broken leg. Mel helps. Frank learns a lot about self-restraint and a little about abandoning it for a worthy cause.

Summary
“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.- Language:
