    -

    Or the one where Mel saves Frank Langdon’s dog, drinks several of his juice boxes, and steals his hoodie over the course of 60 days. Not in that order.

    Summary

    It sucked to acknowledge what he'd done to anyone, obviously, but for some reason it always felt the worst in front of Mel, because she'd never once shown him even a hint of judgment for it. He could list every shitty fucking thing he did, all the drugs he stole, the lies he told, all of it, and Mel would just sit there and nod and tell him Okay, well, thank you for being honest with me.

    It wasn't that he didn't want her to do that. It was that he craved it so badly he couldn't stand it, needed her acceptance with an intensity he didn't know how to handle.

    Summary

    “My new young girlfriend?” he asks, incredulous. He hadn’t even had a one night stand yet. And whoever he falls in bed with would surely rather not be a new young girlfriend of a divorced addict with kids and a dog that still occasionally gnaws on his shoes.

    “The one you were Costco shopping with. No?”

    And that almost makes him laugh.

    “That’s Mel,” he says, disbelieving. “Dr. King. We work together. You don’t–” the words dissolve before he can get them out or even process what he was going to say.
