    Summary

    Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.

    Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.

    Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.

    He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

    Summary

    “Hi,” Frank says, breathless. His hair is messy, like he’d tried to ruffle it with his fingers to make it more presentable, and his shirt is askew, the neckline obviously tugged to one side.

    “Hello,” Mel responds primly, behind the hulking printing press. She moves to the side of it and tangles her hands together in front of her apron.

    The pair of them are sort of comical — her in full colonial garb and him in a free t-shirt from the campus gym that he clearly cut the sleeves off of, turning it into a makeshift muscle tank, with only a thin cord strung across a few wooden posts separating them.

    or: the colonial williamsburg college au meetcute

    Summary

    “I have five days,” she said slowly, like she was trying to hear how it sounded out loud, “to make someone fall in love with me.”

    “Mmm, I wouldn’t phrase it like that.”

    “How would you phrase it?”

    He thought for a second. “You have five days to… let something happen. And maybe fall in love in the process.”

    Mel let out a sharp breath. “That’s not better.”

    or - the one where Mel dies without ever having fallen in love. enter one sympathetic afterlife liaison: five days, one second chance, and Frank Langdon, who sees her more clearly than anyone ever has.
