Wacky-bo-backy AU idea:
Kingdon ballet AU: Frank has recently been promoted to principal dancer at a major ballet company. His marriage to Abby is in shambles since she had to retire at the height of her career as a principal when she got pregnant with Tanner. Mel is the young member of the corps fresh out of ballet school who gets overlooked for all the roles. Frank gets partnered with her because he they need a male dancer to teach her a role (she's the understudy, the lead gets sick). Turns out their chemistry is off the charts when they pas de deux -- he sees something in her no one else does. They could become an iconic partnership.
There's only one problem: Frank's minor back injury that keeps flaring up and that he might be abusing pain killers for.
