Summary
"You're right. You're just touching yourself and I'm just touching myself. And we just happen to be next to each other. There's nothing wrong with that, right?" He says quietly.
"Right." Mel says, and she can't help but smile a little.
"So touch yourself." He whispers, his eyes roaming down her body. "Touch yourself." He repeats.

Summary
“Just tell me what you need.”
“I don’t think I need anything.”
Her heart beats to a rhythm. Strong and slow: you, you, you.
“Hey,” He scoots even closer. His hand travels down to the knee she has brought up. “How about I run you a bath?”
( Frank takes care of Mel. The water brings revelation. )

Summary
To understand social interactions better, Mel makes a spreadsheet cataloging her co-workers responses. She incorporates aspects of others' personalities into her own, noting how they respond. The data is useful and comprehensive and Mel is satisfied with the experiment, so she stops.
Until Frank Langdon shows back up and punches a big hole in her carefully cultivated data.

Summary
If Frank had ever thought about it before, which he hadn't, he’d probably conclude he likes physical touch about as much as the average person does.
It’s not like he minds it when people touch him, especially since he’s kind of oblivious about personal space. He often ends up brushing up against people or dropping a hand to a shoulder or bumping into someone in the Pitt, and he doesn’t tend to think twice about it beyond a quick apology when needed.
(And maybe he does some of that on purpose, when it comes to one coworker in particular, but again, this isn’t something Frank has ever thought about, so he definitely doesn’t dwell on what that means.)
