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
“Mr. and Mrs. Langdon?” she calls.
The couple’s heads swivel in unison until they land on her, and the woman’s anxious expression drops into a frown. It’s not quite the reaction Mel is expecting, but she is a stranger. She doesn’t know what Frank has told them about her, if he’s shown them her picture or anything. They’re probably just wondering how she knows who they are.
“Hi.” She sticks out her hand for the man to shake. “I’m Dr. Melissa King. I’m a… friend of Frank’s. I can get you your visitor’s passes and take you back to see him…”
Mr. Langdon gives her hand a perfunctory shake. But when Mel turns to his wife, she just looks Mel up and down, her lips pressed into a thin line, as Mel stands there, toes curling up tight inside her sneakers and her shoulders creeping up to her ears.
“Oh, we know who you are,” Frank’s mom says, voice loud enough to carry over the din of the waiting room. “You’re the whore who stole our son away from the mother of his children.”

Summary

As though, somehow, she actually enjoyed being around him. For fleeting moments, it almost felt as if what they were doing wasn’t work at all, but something she had chosen to share with him specifically.
And Frank loved to work with her. She was perceptive and analytical, but she also carried a strong emotional leadership that allowed her to notice things others would overlook. In the middle of the turbulence of his own life, Frank found it refreshing to watch someone move with such determination without a trace of arrogance.Or
Frank Langdon realizing he doesn't need to be perfect to be good. And he doesn't need to be good to be loved by Mel.

Summary
"She tried to play it off as nonchalant as possible, as if her heart wasn’t screaming at her. Was this what a crush felt like? She hadn’t liked anyone since her sophomore year of high school when Tyler Bowen kissed her underneath the bleachers at marching band rehearsal. Do adults even have crushes? It felt so juvenile, what she felt for Frank. After one afternoon and a number of text threads, he shouldn’t have her stomach doing somersaults."
OR
Mel learns adults can have crushes too, and that what she feels for her classmate Frank is stronger than she ever could've anticipated, and decidedly not platonic.
