    Summary

    “Walk me through what you’re thinking.”

    Dr. Langdon’s voice came from behind her. Before she had the chance to turn, he stepped closer, leaning over her shoulder to look down at the screen.

    It happened so fast. The warmth of him at her back. The clean scent of soap mixed with coffee and something else she couldn’t place. His hand reached around her to point at something on the screen and for half a second, his arm brushing against hers and she became acutely aware of the little space remaining between their bodies.

    Her pulse stuttered. Any explanation she had died in her throat, instead only a quiet, choked noise came out. She was effectively frozen, completely against her control.

    What the hell?

    or

    5 + 1 trope for Kingdon Week: 5 times Mel felt Langdon from behind & dealt with the emotional fallout, +1 when she let herself go and enjoyed him.

    Summary

    The absolute last thing Jack intended to do was get involved with whatever middle-school two-step courting dance Langdon and King had going on. So, of course, he accidentally steps right into it.

    Summary

    “I guess I could see if one of my friends is amenable to helping,” Mel continues, and Frank whites out. Sirens in his head, DEFCON 1 or 5 or whichever was the highest, do not pass go. “But that seems like a lot to ask.”

    “I, uh, I wouldn’t mind,” Frank hears himself say. “Just, uh, you know, to help. As your friend. But no pressure, I know it might be weird.”

    “That’s so nice of you.” Mel sounds genuinely touched, her lips curving up into a soft smile, her eyes glistening up at him, and Frank has never felt like a worse person.

    Summary

    "I guess I’m not really used to thinking about options,” he admits, which feels like an unbelievably dumb thing for an adult—a father, a teacher, an ex-husband, an addict—to say out loud. “I just do the thing that seems like what you’re supposed to do."

    Leanne hums in the way that Frank has come to learn, two stints in rehab later, is therapist non-verbal speak for “you’ve said something very troubling and therefore fascinating. Prepare to learn about yourself.”

    Summary

    Actually, Mel's excited about a lot of things going into the new school year. She’s excited to co-teach with Dr. Mohan and Mr. Langdon. She’s excited to continue supporting the kids on her caseload from the previous year, and she knows writing their IEPs will go so much better now that she knows them and their families a little. She’s excited that her Physics class will be entirely made up of students she taught in Chemistry the previous year; they were a great group.

    There are things to worry about, too. Co-teaching with two new people again. The daily possibility that she’s going to do something overwhelmingly embarrassing in front of Langdon. Still not knowing where she should go during her prep periods. That she’s going to be just as alone as she’s always been at work, but with some added disappointment because she’s let her hopes get up, just a little.

    There’s no way that she and Langdon can co-teach as well as she hopes. She’s sure her bubble will burst soon enough, that her crush will fade, and everything will settle back to baseline.

    (It doesn't.)
