Summary
Walkin' through a crowd, the village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted somethin' more
Searchin' for a sound we hadn't heard before
And it said“Welcome to New York” Frank whispered excitedly, squeezing her hand and distracting Mel from her place in the song. Indeed the plane was just touching down and Mel could see past him out the window to a skyline of tall buildings and city lights in the distance. The late afternoon sun was catching and turning every reflective surface into something so dazzling it was almost blinding. She focused instead on Frank’s face as it was turned towards her, dazzling in its own right with the way his blue eyes sparkled with a boyish wonder. Mel was looking forward to the long weekend in New York City for the medical conference they would be attending along with Dr. Abbott and Dr. Mohan entitled Radical Empathy: The Patient-Centered Approach.

Summary
“Okay, Mel, twist my arm! I’ll go with you to your aunt’s wedding.”
“What?! That’s not at all what I was—” She cut herself off when he looked at her with a very distinct Frank Langdon Sparkle in his eyes. “Oh, you’re joking. Ha ha, very funny.”
“Well, half-joking, yeah.” He started backing into a parking spot, his body twisted towards hers so he could see behind them. “I will go to the wedding with you, though.”

So, when Mel mentioned the Ren Faire to Frank again, now with an invite to come with her and her sister, he was quick to accept. No hesitation whatsoever.

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
“I’m not leaving,” he says, “But we don’t have to talk about it right now if you don’t want. Becca’s all taken care of, and Emma’s getting her discharged. Okay?”
Despite everything, she nods.
“Okay.”
Langdon smiles, the left corner of his lips pulling gently to the side, awkward and earnest, and sits—crisscross applesauce, Mel thinks— in front of her. “Okay about Becca, or okay let’s talk?”
Mel takes a deep breath in. She thinks about the photo on her phone, arms wound tightly around her father’s bicep, and the petulant feeling in her gut on the swing set. She thinks about the burning feeling she would get whenever she saw Becca leap through the air, looking for all the world like an angel, setting sun lighting her brunette pigtails into a vibrant orange, and names it.
Envy.
She exhales slowly.
“Okay,” Mel says, finally looking at Langdon directly. “Okay, let’s talk.”
