Summary
There was always this undercurrent between them that now threatened to pull her under the waves. No restraint from his side and no inhibitions on hers. A countdown winded down on a bomb that could implode and wreck everything. But still, she let it tick.
Until it went off.
”I didn’t know you knew how to ride like that …” His voice was deep and low as his eyes locked into hers. A double entendre that she immediately recognized as his fingertips gently brushed her thigh. “…horses, I meant.”

Summary
Mel thought she knew all of Frank’s different voices — the professional one he uses when talking to his patients, the loving/worried/cajoling one he uses when talking to his kids, the soft one he uses just for Mel — but his voice sounds so different now, so much deeper and rougher. Mel didn’t know he could sound like that. Her mouth goes dry and she squeezes thighs together reflexively, pressing her ear harder against the wall.
OR:
The walls between Frank's and Mel’s apartments are very thin, leading to some interesting new discoveries.

Summary
“It’s kinda stupid, but Abby always liked the clean shaved look,” he explains, “and we’ve been separated for months now and I just wanted to try No Shave November for the first time.”
“Well it looks good on you,” she says before she can stop herself.
“Does it?” he says, brightening considerably. “Abby always hated it—made me shave it off immediately.”
“I think it’s nice,” she remarks, eyes roving over his face. She’s not sure what about it is so enticing, but there’s just something about Frank’s square jaw, his chin dimple, his dark brows, even his bright blue eyes, that stand out more with the addition of the coarse hair along his jawline, around his mouth.
She wonders what it feels like.
Or, Mel shows up to work with a ponytail, and Frank shows up to work with stubble and both of them lose their damn minds over it :)

Summary
Whatever Langdon and King were doing was between them. Besides, reporting them to HR seemed like a big pile of unnecessary paperwork she didn’t have the time or energy to fill out.
Or: Five times Mel and Frank's colleagues turned a blind eye to their relationship and the one time they didn't
