Summary
Hesitation was her downfall. Which was ironic, considering her job. At work, hesitation was a matter of life and death. Think too much, take too long, and everything goes to shit. In the ER she was fast in her mind and on her feet, her speed was her strength.
Here—anywhere—with Frank, all she could do was hesitate. It doesn’t matter how much she wants this—wants him—she couldn’t find the “go” switch in her mind she could find at work. It’s not like it wasn’t as real, it was, and it was tangible.
Or, Mel King loves Frank Langdon. Frank Langdon loves Mel King. Neither of them will say it.

Summary
"Is this what you want?" Mel asked, eyes searching his face so urgently he could barely track them.
Frank sighed, stretching out his neck and closing his eyes. "It's what she wants—"
"You, Frank," Mel interrupted. "I don't care about Abby. What do you want?"
He wet his lips, rubbing them together as he watched her sit with a hand on the door, ready to leave the car at any given moment. Then, he nodded. "Yeah," he said simply. "I want this."
She shook her head, gathering her bag from by her feet and pushing the door open. "Then have it," she said, forcing herself out. "Just don't expect me to watch."

Summary
Consumed — Frank Langdon is sober, divorced, and trying very hard to keep his life under control. Then there’s Mel King: brilliant, strange, kind, and suddenly at the center of every thought he has. What starts as friendship built on movie nights, shared shifts, and quiet devotion turns into an all-consuming obsession Frank can’t outrun.
He’s convinced she could never want him back and too afraid to risk losing her to ask. But one hazy night changes everything, leaving Frank with exactly what he’s always wanted… and the fear he’s ruined it forever.
Frank Langdon was utterly fucked
