Summary
Post s2ep14 but prior to the season finale. I had to fulfill all of the fan theories that Dr. Langdon isn't telling anyone about some other big changes in his life (aka divorce) (aka I'm delulu but what else is fanfic for)

“Are you heading out soon? Need to watch the fireworks with the kids, right?” Mel’s voice came out unusual, hoarse.“No. Abby’s got them toni…” he coughed nervously and looked away, rubbing his hands together. “I mean, no. I just… I don’t have. Plans. To do that.”
He took a deep breath, returning his gaze back to Mel, but there was something different in his eyes. Sadder, more haunted. It was similar to the look he’d given her in the breakroom only a few hours ago, when she apparently told him all the right things. He absent-mindedly twisted the gold wedding band on his finger. We don’t always get everything right the first time. He’d looked at her when she said that. Langdon had looked at her, really looked at her, and it told her… something. She didn’t know – she couldn’t remember. What was he trying to tell her?
