    Summary

    Loving Mel is strikingly different from loving Abby, as much as he hates himself for even making the comparison. She had been keeping herself and her sister afloat for years through college and medical school, all while maintaining a bright attitude that drew him to her in the first place. She was grounded enough in reality for him to know that she was not wholly innocent, but there was a brilliant allure to the way she interacted with the world despite knowing how cruel it could be. Her polite exterior was mistaken far too often for fragility, even though she may be the toughest person that he has ever met.

    When he takes care of her, he knows that it is only because she has allowed him to, not because she expects him to. There is a difference between those notions.

    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

    Sydney thinks that if she found out she was pregnant a little earlier she probably wouldn’t have gone through with it. Like, if she found out before her landlord changed the locks on her apartment, or before the bank sent her all those red letters, or before the pasta dried up, she’d probably have just taken herself to Planned Parenthood, popped the pills and charged it to the game. But as it is, the two blue lines appear on the stick during the worst months of her life, the first months of the pandemic when she’s unemployed and shit scared that her dad is going to get coronavirus and die. And when she sees them, she just thinks: well, this might as well happen. She was a disappointment before. What’s one more thing?

    Before she meets Carmy, Sydney has a baby.

    Summary

    “What the fuck are you doing back in DC, anyway? I thought you had a four day trip.”

    For someone who spent so long working in politics, Dan isn’t great at subtlety. Or lying. Or hiding the fact that something is bothering him. For someone with a reputation for being, in Amy Brookheimer’s words, almost as self-obsessed as he is freakishly tall, Jonah is pretty good at noticing.

    *

    Or, Dan has questionable methods for dealing with stress, and Jonah isn't sure whether he should panic or jerk off first.
