Summary
“Hey, are you free after work?” he asks, and Mel hears the absolute silence that drops down over them, all the movement on either side of them going still.
“Yes, I am,” Mel answers eagerly. Cassie abruptly begins shuffling through her locker louder than before, and Mel feels one of her eyebrows twitch, tries not to let it show on her face. “Do you think you could fix the air conditioning today?” Frank nods, rewards her with a megawatt grin. She can feel them staring at each other an amount of time that could be considered inappropriate; she can’t think of a good reason to look away.
“Wow, King,” Santos says, breaking the silence, and Mel watches Frank glance at Santos behind her, over her shoulder. “Asking Langdon to fix your pipes for you? Didn’t think you had it in you.”
“Santos,” Frank warns, and Mel watches a muscle jump in his jaw.
“He’s not fixing my pipes.” Mel tilts her head, turning to face Santos. “He’s fixing my air conditioning. It’s been broken all week.” Santos’s lips part, her eyebrows coming together, and then a slow, terrible smile spreads across her face.
(Mel's air conditioner breaks. Frank doesn’t know a lot about them but finds a way to help)

Summary
Becca had this phase where she was really into playing pinball — handheld ones, not the big machines, which was a relief. The big ones are really noisy. But anyway. Becca had read all the manuals, even looked up reviews online, and she swore there was a strategy to it, that you could control where the ball landed, if you just hit it at a certain angle, with just the right amount of strength. But Mel was missing the hand-eye coordination, or the muscle memory, or something, because to her, it all seemed totally random, like nothing she did made any difference as to where that damn ball ended up.
Conversations with Trinity feel kind of like that, sometimes. Like watching a tiny silver ball come racing down towards her, frozen in silent panic, Becca chanting in her ear to hit it, just hit it, knowing full well she's only going to miss.
Mel is really, really bad at pinball. In case that part wasn't clear.

Summary
“Okay,” Kitty grins into the camera, waving at her family popping up on four different sections of the Zoom call. Clicks share screen. “Good afternoon, everyone. I’ve prepared an important presentation today. The agenda? All the reasons you should allow me, Katherine Song-Covey, to tour Asia over the summer with the potential love of my life, Moon Minho.”
(or, kitty, minho and all their soft spots for each other.)

Summary
Kate thinks that it wouldn't be so bad to have some fun while helping Edwina find a husband and decides to let Lady Danbury introduce her to Eligible men, including (eventually) one Viscount Bridgerton. We go slightly AU here.
Kate never overhears Anthony on the terrace and they run into each other differently.
Kate has other suitors and Anthony will have to work for it.
Anthony is still a clown, sorry to say.
