    Summary

    This work has been copied over from my Fictober 2019 collection "Put Me Back Together"- chapters 17, 22 and 27, and is based on a prompt on Tumblr from @chromium-siren.

    I've broken the original 3-chapter work up into 10 chapters to make it a little more digestible.

    To everyone who read the original pieces and left so many wonderful comments there - thank you from the bottom of my heart for encouraging me to dive into this world and turn it into something real. XOXO

    Mel walks in on Langdon changing into his scrubs. The sight is about equally appealing and concerning.

    Summary

    She pulled the straw of her boba up to her lips, the first sip tasted heavenly, enough to make her forget the nerves that bundled in her stomach.

     
    “Mel… will you marry me?” He said softly, his eyes bright in her direction.

     
    She spat her boba across the table at him. “What?” She screeched.

    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 :)
