Summary
People weren’t always patient; it’s just a matter of fact she’s come to accept, as easily as the sky is blue. People weren’t always generous — with their time, much less with their attention — and Mel’s grown accustomed to the exasperated raise of eyebrows whenever her rambles cross the Too Much line.
She’s used to it.
Frank, though—
She hadn’t accounted for Frank.
Or, Mel’s an unstoppable force trying to get over her feelings, and Frank’s an immovable object who won’t let her.

Summary
Frank Langdon is worried about Mel. She has a lot on her shoulders and doesn't know how to ask for help. He decides that he can help her by giving her moments outside of work where she's just having fun, not taking care of anyone. Mel sees this as a bid for friendship and happily accepts.
Eventually real friendship blossoms between them, then something more.
__
Langdon is separated from the very beginning, just wearing his wedding ring at first to avoid questions or pity at work. He is not immediately looking for love or to get over Abby; it sneaks up on him.
