    Summary

    “Hmpf,” Robby says, after the first run-through on Monday morning when Frank has felt like a fucking pervert for running his hands down Mel’s soft side, over and over again, because the choreography requires it. It didn’t really help that he couldn’t sleep last night, feeling itchy and hot under the covers.

    He’d tried the dancer’s version of counting sheep, blocking the ballet in his mind, going through all his steps.

    He was just waiting in the wings, yam-pam-pam, Prokofiev’s score playing in his mind, watching Juliet and Paris dance at the ball. Juliet is polite, but bored. Yolanda always plays the bored part really well.

    But then, thinking of how Juliet needs to slips out of Paris' hands on the beat and turn towards Romeo, it was suddenly Mel's face that looked at him expectantly, a soft flush on her cheeks.

    Yikes.

    Or: Royal Ballet principal Yolanda Garcia gets injured and Frank Langdon needs a new partner. Enter Mel King, a recent transfer from Pittsburgh Ballet.

    Summary

    Frank huffed, setting the mug down. “How many times are we going to have to go over this, Mel? I like listening to you talk. I’m not just being nice. We’re friends.”

    “It’s important to ask,” she said, still watching him carefully. “Because sometimes people say they want to know something but they don’t actually mean that they do. They’re just being polite. And it’s hard for me to tell that, always.”

    “I’ll tell you what,” he suggested. “Let’s make this easy. With me, you never have to ask. Consider it my… blanket approval, I guess.”

    He pointed to himself. “I, Frank Langdon, am interested in what you have to say.”

    Summary

    Look at you, a mocking voice whispered in his head.

    Everyone thinks you have the perfect life. Perfect husband, perfect kids, the brilliant new golden boy at PTMC. And you can’t even handle a Tuesday morning in the suburbs.

    You can't even soothe your own son.

    Summary

    “Hmm…” She clacked the keyboard quickly, “Langdon, you say?”

    He nodded once more, his eyes left the clerks and looked over at Mel. The crinkles that usually came from smiling were prominent just from exhaustion. He was still ridiculously handsome and it really wasn’t fair. She sipped from her water bottle in her hand.

    “There it is!” She exclaimed brightly. “Honeymoon suite for Langdon.”

    “What?” She choked on the water in her throat and coughed roughly. “Honeymoon suite?”

    Frank’s eyes grew a mile wide, almost bulging from his skull. “No.. No.. There’s been some kind of mistake. I booked two queen beds.”
