Summary
“Okay,” Becca says with a nod, thankful to be able to focus on the movie again as she declares, “I’m still not calling you Frank, though.”
“I guess beggars can’t be choosers, can they?”
“Nope.”
Becca likes Dr. Langdon when she meets him during her emergency room visit. It’s later, when he's introduced to her as Mel's friend Frank, that she decides she isn't so sure.

Summary
It’s petulant, the way she immediately feels the need to argue against his words, the feelings she’s fought so hard to keep bottled up threatening to explode within her. He’s married.
“Abby wouldn’t encourage it.”
“I don’t think Abby really gives a shit anymore, to be honest.”
Frank tries to hint that he's getting divorced. Mel doesn't quite get the memo.

Summary
“Yes,” she tells him. “I’m- I’m fine. I’m good. Great, even.” Then, though she knows it’s overkill and probably lame of her to say, “All good over here, Doc.”
“Doc?” His puzzled look changes into that of amusement. Laughing, he asks, “Are you channeling Bugs Bunny or something?”
Or, 3 times Mel embarrasses herself + 1 time Frank does it for her

Summary
“It’s been six months, Mulder,” Scully mutters from the passenger seat, the newspaper in her hands crinkling noisily as she closes and places it in her lap, her attention now on him.
Mulder swallows and reaches for her hand, hoping to bring her a semblance of comfort as she often does him.
“It won’t be like this forever,” he promises, but even as his voice remains steady, he can feel his resolve crumbling and knows she can sense it, too
Post-Season 9.

Summary
“Pineapple on pizza,” he leans on the wall, crossing his arms on his chest as he looks down at her. “Yes or no?”
“No,” she says immediately, wrinkling her nose.
[or: Mel starts undergrad and she thinks it's a little strange that her roommate's boyfriend is always hanging around]

Summary
go home, loser.
She doesn’t feel like giving him a hard time right now, truly, but she’s hoping if she’s casual, maybe he’ll magically think everything is okay and actually go the fuck home.
A ding.
u send her out to me and i’ll put in my fucking two weeks notice.
She stares at her phone helplessly, then looks back to Robby.
“Fuck,” he barks out. “Fuck. Fine, I’ll…I’ll go figure something out.”
He turns on his heel and starts walking towards the cops.
Her phone dings one more time.

Summary
It takes three weeks for him to cross the line he set for himself when he drove her home after that Fourth of July shift and ask her if he can stay the night at her place.
He knows they can be friendly at work, though he can’t actually be friends with her, not when he’s dealing with recovery and a trial separation and the desire to make everything better for her.
But he forgets all of that after just one night.
And then it becomes a habit.

Summary
“It would have to be a secret.” He says, doing his best to keep his face neutral.
“I’m good at keeping secrets.”
Langdon closes his eyes, a pained expression on his face, “Mel.”
“What?”
“You can’t — you deserve better than this.”
“I want you,” she says again, imbuing each word with as much sincerity as she can so it gets through his thick skull. Actions speak louder than words, so she seals it with a soft kiss. His eyes are still closed, mouth parted when she pulls back, “I’ll take whatever you can give me. I mean it. I promise.”
