Summary
“Hey,” Langdon says, and even his voice sounds different, like he’s holding in a burp. The laugh dies in her throat, however, when she notices he's carrying... a bouquet?
"Sorry if they're ugly," he says, "I told the florist purple, and she ran with it."
Mel takes them out of his hands, but she doesn't stop blinking. "Um, thank you. But... why?"
He cringes. "Shit, it’s too much, isn’t it? It's been a while since I've been on a first date. I'm rusty."
Mel almost drops the flowers as she staggers backward. "What?"

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.

Summary
Mel cancels her therapist sessions the very next day, in the early hours of the morning after contemplating the whole night. She won’t need therapy anymore, because she already has a plan.
Mel is going to kill herself.
Now, this isn’t as simple as it sounds. She can’t just jump into the Allegheny on her way to work. She has to be smart about it, because there is one huge caveat: What is going to happen to Becca once she is gone? This is what Mel has been thinking about the entire night, and she has finally come up with a solution.
She needs to befriend Frank Langdon.
Or: Mel comes up with an insane plan and drags Frank along for the ride.
