    Summary

    Frank huffed, setting the mug down. “How many times are we going to have to go over this, Mel? I like listening to you talk. I’m not just being nice. We’re friends.”

    “It’s important to ask,” she said, still watching him carefully. “Because sometimes people say they want to know something but they don’t actually mean that they do. They’re just being polite. And it’s hard for me to tell that, always.”

    “I’ll tell you what,” he suggested. “Let’s make this easy. With me, you never have to ask. Consider it my… blanket approval, I guess.”

    He pointed to himself. “I, Frank Langdon, am interested in what you have to say.”

    Summary

    “I swear I’ve mentioned Alex before,” Mel murmurs, frowning down at her phone, still not clocking how she’s short-circuited Frank’s brain. It's a blue screen of death up there. Hi, you’ve reached Dr. Frank Langdon. I’m not available to talk right now, but leave a message, and I might get back to you. Beeeeeep.

    The picture continues to shine cheerily up at them, silently mocking Frank. He forces himself to look away and swallows with difficulty. “I think I'd remember if you'd told me about your ‘best friend’ who you ‘used to be in love with.’”

    Summary

    “I’m jealous.” It escapes before she can let herself back out, “That my sister has a sex life, and I don’t.”

    She doesn’t know why she’s admitting that to him. She honestly doesn’t. It’s embarrassing.

    “Right there with you.” His voice is low, “How long–?”

    She chews at the bottom of her lip, doing the mental math, “Three years…You?”

    “Thirteen months.”

    Warmth pools in between her legs, and she clutches his hand like it’s a lifeline.

    It’s barely a whisper, she’s so afraid to say it,

    “Close the trunk.”

    ---

    “Wait, holy shit, King–” The wand stills inside of her as Trinity freezes the frame.

    “What?” She asks, “God, it didn’t nick something, did it? I’m not about to bleed to death?”

    “No, but you might pass out.” Trinity answers, “Maybe?”

    “What is it?” She tries to sit up, but Trinity’s already turning the ultrasound monitor around to show her.

    Her heart stills as she takes in the tiny flickering heartbeat on the screen in front of her, “Oh–”
