Summary
Frank was here. At a speed dating event. Which meant that he’d spent his evening sitting across from a dozen other women, looking for the same thing she was - a relationship.
The realization made her stomach sink. For months now, she’d been telling herself there was a reason Frank hadn’t made a move. Maybe he wasn’t ready after the divorce. Maybe he wasn’t even interested in dating at all - maybe he was too busy with work and the kids to even think about it. But he was here, which meant none of those things were true.
Frank wanted a relationship - just not with her.

Summary
Mel shoots another look at her seat stealer—even if he didn’t know that’s what he was doing, she’s still going to hold a grudge—and notices for the first time that he’s, like, absurdly attractive. His dark hair is sticking up in an intentional bedhead kind of way, his jaw is insanely sharp, and his eyes are a striking blue, light enough that she can make them out feet away.
Before she can get too carried away studying him, though, he does something that makes her blood boil: he crosses his arms on the table in front of him and puts his head down, apparently settling in for a nap.
A nap! In her seat! What a waste!
(or: 5 times Frank steals Mel’s seat + 1 time she steals his.)

Summary
For the first time since she’d met her on their first day in the Pitt, Mel thinks she sees Santos blush. “Uh, nope,” she says quickly. “Mel! Truth ‘r dare?”
“Truth,” Mel says, as usual.
Santos looks like she was ready for this and immediately asks, too clearly considering how drunk she was, “Who here do you have a crush on?”
