Summary
Frank was here. At a speed dating event. Which meant that he’d spent his evening sitting across from a dozen other women, looking for the same thing she was - a relationship.
The realization made her stomach sink. For months now, she’d been telling herself there was a reason Frank hadn’t made a move. Maybe he wasn’t ready after the divorce. Maybe he wasn’t even interested in dating at all - maybe he was too busy with work and the kids to even think about it. But he was here, which meant none of those things were true.
Frank wanted a relationship - just not with her.

Summary
“Hmpf,” Robby says, after the first run-through on Monday morning when Frank has felt like a fucking pervert for running his hands down Mel’s soft side, over and over again, because the choreography requires it. It didn’t really help that he couldn’t sleep last night, feeling itchy and hot under the covers.
He’d tried the dancer’s version of counting sheep, blocking the ballet in his mind, going through all his steps.
He was just waiting in the wings, yam-pam-pam, Prokofiev’s score playing in his mind, watching Juliet and Paris dance at the ball. Juliet is polite, but bored. Yolanda always plays the bored part really well.
But then, thinking of how Juliet needs to slips out of Paris' hands on the beat and turn towards Romeo, it was suddenly Mel's face that looked at him expectantly, a soft flush on her cheeks.
Yikes.
Or: Royal Ballet principal Yolanda Garcia gets injured and Frank Langdon needs a new partner. Enter Mel King, a recent transfer from Pittsburgh Ballet.

Summary
Emma is a hundred percent certain that Dr. Langdon and Dr. King are married.
Well, maybe ninety-nine percent.
No one has explicitly confirmed or denied it, but while Emma might be naive, blind she is not.

Summary
"Okay, I love you, bye." The new clarinetist - Mel - said, before hanging up. She then sighed, and sat down on the front steps, resting her elbows on her knees and cupping her face. Frank put the cigarette away, and wondered what his first words should be to her. Something about how she was really fantastic, and she shouldn't beat herself up, and she sounded great during her parts and had nothing to worry about.
"You know, a year ago I saw a guy throw up in that exact spot you're in. So I wouldn't sit there."
Or:
After Robby caught him with pills thirty minutes before a concert, Frank Langdon comes back to the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra ten months later with two goals: to keep his job as a percussionist and to stay clean. Unfortunately, what's waiting for him in the orchestra is having to see his ex-wife during rehearsals, a conductor who watches him like a hawk, a section that would rather pretend he doesn't exist, and a new cute principal clarinetist that's becoming impossible to ignore. Kingdon Orchestra AU.
