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
He doesn’t know why he does it, says, “Let me,” and gestures for her to turn around. He thinks she’ll wave him off, tell him not to worry, that she can do it herself.
But she doesn’t.
She turns around so her back is to him, and he takes a step closer, reaching up to grab onto her braid, slowly sliding the hair tie off.
He puts it on his wrist, next to the one he already has on, and the plait almost falls apart on its own, but he can’t help putting his hands in her hair, undoing the braid and running his fingers through the strands gently.
“There you go,” he says quietly once her hair is loose around her shoulders.
She sighs and leans into him, her back against his chest, and tilts her head to rest on his shoulder.

Summary
It takes three weeks for him to cross the line he set for himself when he drove her home after that Fourth of July shift and ask her if he can stay the night at her place.
He knows they can be friendly at work, though he can’t actually be friends with her, not when he’s dealing with recovery and a trial separation and the desire to make everything better for her.
But he forgets all of that after just one night.
And then it becomes a habit.

Summary
“Tell me not to do it.”
Her jaw drops, eyebrows furrowing, and she says, “What?”
“Tell me not to do it,” he repeats. “Tell me that I should divorce her, tell me that you —”
He swallows the words and says, “Tell me that I shouldn’t renew my vows, that I should be with someone who actually wants to be with me, who isn’t just doing it because she thinks she has to because we have kids and I’m in recovery.”
