    Summary

    Carl is absolutely not having a quarter life crisis. Sure, he just left his girlfriend of over four years, found out she was cheating on him with multiple people, and spent an inadvisable amount of money buying her spoiled show cat off of her, but that's just a bad breakup. Besides, how's he meant to play COD properly without Donut in his lap?

    I guess, in addition to his normal stupid dreams he's now having really weird ones where all of civilization is flattened and he goes and lives peacefully in the woods, but that's just dream shit. Can't control that.

    Yeah, his best friend (and one of his only friends) of over a decade is now moving across the country with his new girlfriend, he found out he has a eight year old little half-brother, and that his crazy ex got someone fired from his job which is now making everything at work awkward on top of all this other bullshit — okay, maybe he's having a little bit of a quarter life crisis. Jesus, back the hell off.

    Summary

    Frank has never been a good sleeper. It's a blessing and a curse in turn, but he's made peace with needing less sleep than anyone he's ever met.

    And then he meets Mel King, and she changes that.

    (She changes everything.)

    OR — Over a series of late night talks, texts, FaceTimes, and maybe dates, Langdon and Mel fall in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

    Summary

    They were friends.

    And yeah, maybe the ring on his finger sort of burned when he looked at her sometimes, even though it was just for show, now.

    It was just easier to let her keep thinking he was still married to Abby. Safer.

    It raised less eyebrows about the nature of their friendship when the ring stayed on while he was at work, the weight on his finger reminding him not to say or do anything stupid.

    It also made it a little less creepy when the pet names started slipping out.

    Summary

    “So listen,” Robby says, “I heard you’ve uh, well, that you’re living with Dr. King. Is there any truth to that statement?”

    Frank groans.

    “Yeah, yes, I’m living with her,” he says and Robby gets that crazy look in his eyes so Frank barrels on, “It’s not like that. Robby it’s not,” and Robby doesn’t look like he believes him one bit. “I’m living in her spare room and I pay her rent. We’re roommates. That’s not a crime.”

    or: frank gets out of rehab, gets divorced, and needs somewhere to live. enter mel.

    Summary

    “—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”

    Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.

    “Frank, why would we move in together?”

    “I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”

    “Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”

    At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”

    What.

     

    Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
    Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.
