Summary
No one knows how or why the marks started appearing – some say it’s a physiological phenomenon brought on by evolution, others say it’s divine intervention – but the world changed seemingly overnight into a place where the stars align for those brave enough to ask for it.

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.- Language:

Summary
Consumed — Frank Langdon is sober, divorced, and trying very hard to keep his life under control. Then there’s Mel King: brilliant, strange, kind, and suddenly at the center of every thought he has. What starts as friendship built on movie nights, shared shifts, and quiet devotion turns into an all-consuming obsession Frank can’t outrun.
He’s convinced she could never want him back and too afraid to risk losing her to ask. But one hazy night changes everything, leaving Frank with exactly what he’s always wanted…and the fear he’s ruined it forever.
Frank Langdon was utterly fucked

Summary
Mel and Frank have been doing a surprisingly good job keeping their relationship quiet.
Unfortunately, Mel is late for work, wildly distracted, and maybe not paying quite as much attention as she should be.

Summary
“What are your plans?”
He looked away for a second, out toward the street, one shoulder lifting in a shrug.
“Nothing exciting,” He looked away toward the city skyline beyond the bay doors. "I'll probably just head home."
Mel hesitated.
"Well," she said, trying to sound casual, "if you're not up to anything... you should come."
Frank looked back at her. "To karaoke?"
"Yeah,” she said. “Could be fun."
He held her gaze for a second too long.
"Yeah," he said quietly. "Maybe."
or - the one where Mel invites Frank to karaoke, and and he's never quite the same afterwards.
