    Summary

    "I wish I could," he murmurs. “But you kissed me.”

    She swallows. His thumb moves, just slightly, against her chin, and she feels it everywhere, feels it in the base of her throat and the pit of her stomach and the backs of her knees, feels it in every place she has been trying not to feel anything for two days, and she looks at him and he looks at her and the desire is right there on the surface of her, visible and undeniable, and she is too tired to hide it.

    "I know." Her voice comes out very quiet but she’s holding his gaze. "I know I did. And I wish—I wish I could tell you I wouldn't do it again." A beat. "That’s always been the whole problem.”

    Summary

    When he finds the courage to leave the comfort of her steam shrouded bathroom, he makes his way out to the living room.

    He stops in his tracks when he hears her, a fond smile etching onto his face.

    He’s careful to disguise his footsteps on the vinyl floor, not wanting her to stop. He was rapidly beginning to realize he could listen to her sing forever.

    She flits around the kitchen, alternating between humming and singing along to whatever music played in her ear, and all Frank can do is watch.

    “Oh!” She says with a jolt when she finally notices him, “Frank! How are you feeling? I made spaghetti…spaghetti’s okay, right?”

    “Yeah.” He nodded, “Yeah, spaghetti’s okay.”

    She shuffles out of the kitchen a few moments later with two bowls in tow, “We can sit at the table, the couch…whatever you’re most comfortable with. If you want we can put something on the TV, that’s what Becca usually likes to do…”

    “I like when you sing.” He can’t stop the words from coming, and he doesn’t regret them one bit when he watches her face change shades if only slightly.

    “Oh.”

    Summary

    “I’m- I can’t convince myself to commit to a longer stay,” Robby admits, frustrated by it. “It’d be better for actually getting somewhere with antidepressants, I know, but I feel like once I take away the work and the bike and everything else I do… there’s a clock on how long I can be naked like that. When it runs out, if I’m not back on the right side, I’ll get stuck as nothing, forever.” Robby drops his face into his hand. “Why does this sound like The Little Mermaid?” he moans.

    “Is this the kind of place where they throw a black bag over your head and smash your SIM card, or can I still talk to you?” Jack asks.

    ~After a scare on his road trip, Robby does two weeks of inpatient care in Wisconsin... and you'll never guess who he uses his phone time on~

    Summary

    [Unknown Number]

    It’s just that I’ve got nobody left and you were one of the only people who was nice to me today

    I’m sitting alone on a curb downtown watching the last of the fireworks. 

    I don’t have anyone else to call. 

    Sorry. I’ll figure it out. Hope these didn’t wake you up

    Goodnight Mel 

     

    Her hands trembled as she typed her reply.

     

    Mel

    Are you okay?

     

    Her phone rang again, and thirty minutes later Doctor Langdon was knocking on her door. 

    On the Fourth of July, Frank Langdon returns home to a duffle bag waiting for him on the porch.

    On the Fifth of July, he wakes up shirtless on Mel King’s couch.

    This is the story about that night.
