Summary
“Frank,” she says, her breath catching. “You didn’t let me down.”
“I did, though,” he says, this time quieter. It’s laced with something else, too, but she can’t place what it is. “I owe you an apology, and not just one, either. I was an asshole on July fourth and on Labor Day, and you didn’t deserve any of it.”
“You already did that,” Mel says. Her voice is weak, but she can’t examine why right now. “You did say sorry—both times.”
“Not really,” Frank says, and it gets her to look at him again. He’s still facing her, his eyes trained on her face, and she feels her lips part. “Not the way I should have.”
or: five holidays mel & frank spend together + the one it takes for them to truly connect.
