Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Mel, I love you,” he reminded her softly, like she could have possibly forgotten. “Of course I want you to meet my kids. I want you to be my family.”
His family.
The word hit somewhere deep and hidden within her chest.
Not his friend, or girlfriend, or even partner. His family.

Summary
"I think this is probably just going to be one of these things," Eddie tells him. "You know, like… You could probably give me a whole manual and I’d still be weird about it. Like… I kinda just need to find a dick, suck it, and have it done with, y’know?”
“Well, you ever want help with that one, just hit me up,” Steve says, chuckling.
Steve really just wanted to help out.

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
"Didn’t make any friends during orientation?”
She laughed- then stopped abruptly because that was actually not a joke. “Um…no. I don’t make friends easily.”
She waited for him to look at her with pity, or offer false reassurances. He looked mildly contemplative instead. “I think most people’s ‘friends’ are actually just acquaintances, anyway.”
Mel blinked. “You think so?”
“It’s important to remember that most people are bullshitting you like…at least sixty percent of the time.”
Mel wasn’t sure if this extended to him. If it did, would he tell her? Probably not.

Mel turns to him. He’s looking at her like—well, she’s never been very good with metaphors. He’s looking at her with desperation.
