Summary
“So let me get this straight,” Samira says. “You guys had sex for the first time three days ago.”
Mel doesn’t raise her eyes from the cardboard container in her hands as she nods, twirling some noodles around with her chopsticks.
“And if I understand correctly,” Samira pauses, like she’s building the anticipation of her statement, “it was absolutely fucking terrible.”
“Samira!” Mel says, her head snapping up so fast she’s worried for a second the movement gave her torticollis.
Samira shakes her head and points her index fingers at Mel.
“Well, it’s what you said.”

Summary
“Yes,” she says. “I can be very flexible.”
Frank chokes on his next breath, and she laughs. It’s her high-pitched laugh, almost a giggle. It comes out the most when she’s teasing him.
Joke, she mouths, away from the microphone. As if it’s just for him. As if she’s forgotten that Samira has a camera trained on their faces, capturing everything.

“What’s she like?”
“She looks a lot like Mel.”
“Oh, really? That’s — well, Mel is beautiful. She’s — yeah,” he stutters. “So, that’s good then.”
He nods a few times, trying to convince himself this really is good, and a not fucking sign from the universe that everything leads back to Mel for him.
“I just have to say it. Frank, she is Mel.”
“Fuck,” he says and walks up the steps to window to see for himself.
She’s there, sitting at a table by herself and looking like a dream with her hair loose and an oversized sweater on that he has the urge to put his hands under.
“Fuck,” he repeats. “How the fuck did this happen?”

Summary
Mel had thought her way right into a corner with only one option.
Feelings were messy, unpredictable things. She’d managed keeping them to herself this long, she could keep a handle on it with a one time perfunctory favor sex involved. She simply had to logic her way through it. Frank was her person. He would help her out because he was a good friend. The sex would be carefully carried out and rote. There would be no additional emotional attachment. Everything between them would go back to the way it always was and Mel could move on.
There would be absolutely no deviation.
