Summary
“You've got a date tonight?” he asked.
“With a guy named Tony DiFiore,” she said. “He asked me out at the grocery store last week.”
Something deep behind his ribs tightened. This Tony guy asked her out last week. Days ago. They’d hung out three times since then, and worked together almost every single day. Mel with her hair down, sitting across from someone who wasn't him, grinning when they made her laugh. She had the right.
Mel was still looking at him. “Do you think I should go?”
“What's the worst that could happen?”
He said that. He actually fucking said that.
And now there was no way for him to take it back.

Or: Mel can’t remember what happened to her, Frank can’t fix it, and neither of them knows how to survive it without the other.Bookmarked by Templedrake

Summary
i'm a mirrorball
i'll show you every version of yourself tonight
i'll get you out on the floor
shimmering beautiful
and when i break it's in a million pieces. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.
three years ago, frank langdon was one win away from being the most decorated pro in dancing with the stars history.
then he fucked up his back, lost the trophy and his marriage, went to rehab, and came back just in time to have the worst season of his career.
he used to be the guy who could make a dancer out of anyone, but after last season he's not so sure that's true anymore. so when he gets paired with melissa king, a former child star turned novelist who hasn't danced a day in her life, frank isn't exactly thrilled—especially when his ex-wife gets handed the biggest ringer of the season and a very real shot at stealing the record he still thinks should've been his.
it doesn't take long for frank and mel's natural chemistry to set the internet rumour mill ablaze, and frank figures there's no harm in feeding the flames a little if it gets them votes. and maybe even the mirrorball.
what could go wrong?

Summary
“It would have to be a secret.” He says, doing his best to keep his face neutral.
“I’m good at keeping secrets.”
Langdon closes his eyes, a pained expression on his face, “Mel.”
“What?”
“You can’t — you deserve better than this.”
“I want you,” she says again, imbuing each word with as much sincerity as she can so it gets through his thick skull. Actions speak louder than words, so she seals it with a soft kiss. His eyes are still closed, mouth parted when she pulls back, “I’ll take whatever you can give me. I mean it. I promise.”
