   Summary

   And maybe it’s the hush of the pre-dawn air, the moments where New York doesn’t quite stop so much as pause, that tiny crystalline moment between the inhale of the day and the exhale of the night. Maybe it’s the stillness of Frank’s gaze, the surety and solidity of his presence, how she never feels alone when she’s with him.

   Maybe it’s the sudden certainty that hits her down to her very bones that Frank knows who she is, and accepts her, jagged edges and all.

   And maybe she’s just so, so tired of being the Karen that Matt needs.

   Or,

   Frank and Karen engage in a little no-touching sexual activity so Matt won't smell him on her.
