Summary
“Um.” Mel looked down. “I still don’t know what everyone’s talking about. Honestly. That’s just how he looks at me.”
Diana’s eyebrows shot up. “You’re saying he looks at you like that often?”
Mel rolled her head. “I mean, we work together a lot. Maybe I’m not seeing what other people are seeing because to me, that’s just… how he looks.” She glanced at Langdon, who was looking at her the same way he always did, and for some reason, it made the feather dance that time, and she had to look away.

When a Tiktok of an after hours save goes viral for their undeniable chemistry, Mel King and Frank Langdon are thrust into the spotlight and asked to do a publicity tour to help fundraise. Mel finds it increasingly difficult to keep her feelings for her happily married colleague under wraps in interviews, but Frank’s been keeping a secret that millions of people are about to learn before she does. -

Summary
“Are you worried about getting eaten by a bear?” Langdon asked, glancing at her.
“I’m actually more worried about you getting eaten by a bear,” Mel said. “And then me having to tell your wife and kids that I just stood by and watched it happen because I don’t know how to fight a bear. You’re not supposed to fight grizzlies, but I don’t think we’d see one of those here unless it’s really lost, or got loose from the zoo. And black bears, I know you’re supposed to try to stand tall and then find a weapon, but I’m not very tall, and I don’t always have good aim. I mean, sometimes I do, but if I’m trying to fight off a bear, I don’t think I’ll be able to throw very straight.”
Langdon’s head rolled as he listened. “You won’t have to tell my wife and kids that I was eaten by a bear, Mel.”
“You don’t know that,” she said.
“I promise.”

Summary
MEL KING: YOU DID THIS?
FRANK LANGDON: Probably
FRANK LANGDON: But what this time?Mel sent him a picture of her laptop screen.
MEL KING: THIS. YOU DID THIS.
FRANK LANGDON: Well don’t they look like they’re having fun?
MEL KING: OMG
FRANK LANGDON: 😇
MEL KING: THEY WON’T STOP.
FRANK LANGDON: Don’t make them stop!Queen Mel may be pregnant!
Mel yelled into her closed fists and scrambled back, pushing the laptop away from her. No, no. Queen Mel could absolutely not be pregnant. She still had to get to the top of the gardening career and she had to write 5 books and she hadn’t even –
FRANK LANGDON: Btw

Summary
Frank Langdon should not be touching Mel King like this.
Jesus, this was a bad idea.
But it was just a strap. And then her clavicles. And then his fingertips and nails along her arms, lightly grazing the raised goosebumps forming on her skin. Her body’s reaction to his touch was like a drug. He hoped she couldn’t feel his body’s response. Fuck, he wanted to touch her more.
No. That was it. It had to be. He was not going to ruin this moment. She would never be able to see him the same if he did that, and he needed Mel King not to hate him like grass needed the sun. She was his last refuge in a world that would not forgive him.
