   Summary

   Mel King is only bringing Frank Langdon along on her family vacation as her fake boyfriend to get her family off of her back. It has absolutely nothing to do with the feelings she may or may not have for him.

   Frank Langdon is self-actualized enough from his HR-mandated therapy sessions to know why he’s going on this trip. It has everything to do with the feelings he has for Mel King.

   Summary

   "I think it’s not about other people’s trust in you. It’s more about if you trust yourself.”

   Frank trusts himself with a lot of things—saving a patient’s life, taking care of his kids, calling someone when he’s craving benzos. But with Mel? She’s so rare, so precious. How could he ever trust himself with that?
