Summary
“I love used books,” she proffers, eager to be a normal person. “I love when books have a story.”
“Well, I’d say if a book doesn’t have a story, it’s a pretty sad excuse for a book.”
Mel can’t help herself—she snorts. “I didn’t realize you owned the shop,” Mel says quickly, embarrassed. “That must be nice—”
“Yeah, it is,” Frank answers distractedly. “I’m sorry, I’m pretty sure I just saw two time Emmy award winning actress Mel King snort at a joke I made.”
So he really did know her, then, wow.
“Well I’m not sure anyone will believe you,” she jokes lightly.
“Yeah,” Frank breathes, his eyes roving over her face in a stunned sort of awe. “I don’t think anyone will.”
Or, the Kingdon Notting Hill AU :)

Summary
Frank Langdon had been sober for three hundred and sixty-three days, divorced for two hundred and twelve, and in love with Mel King for so long now that he couldn’t remember what his brain sounded like before her.
The sobriety milestones were easier to quantify.
Love, unfortunately, was less cooperative.

Summary
Mel huffs in frustration. She can’t think of how to break him out of this spiral of self-loathing and catastrophizing. Doesn’t know what to say or do to end this cycle of misplaced blame. But, if there’s anything she’s learned in her time as Frank Langdon’s best friend, it’s that sometimes it’s best to just ask. So that’s what she does.
“What can I do, hmm? How can I make this better for you,” she whispers desperately, letting out a gentle hum as she moves to stroke his hair once again.
Frank lets out a sarcastic, wet chuckle, his face pressed against her shins. She can feel the warmth of his breath seeping into her scrubs.
“You can show me your tits,” he says casually, his voice tired.
Mel freezes, her hand stopping mid-stroke as she registers what he just said. Instantly, her face flushes red.
“Um—did you ju—um, what?” she stammers out. I must be daydreaming again, she thinks to herself. There’s no fucking way he just said that…

Summary
One year after his return to the PTMC, if you asked Frank Langdon what his plans were going to be for a week in July, he probably would not have predicted he'd be spending it vacationing with his colleagues at a campground somewhere in the Poconos. But it's not just the weather that's heating up and making him sweat... his relationship with Mel King is on the verge of becoming something else entirely.
