Summary
All in all, Steve is doing just fine. Some days it feels like he’s carved his own red, beating, bloody heart out of his chest but mostly, he knows that life is about the art of losing things and he thinks he’s finally mastered that after all.
Four months was all it took to adjust to life in Maryland, life without a family or home.
At the beginning of the fifth month, Eddie Munson walks in the front door.

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
“—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.- Language:

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.
