Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

Summary
"Mel— what are you—"
"Please," she whispered, her voice raw and pleading. She looked up at him slowly; he sucked in a sharp breath as he took in how wide and teary her eyes were. "I… I need the distraction."
Her fingers were twitching against his skin where she had hooked them into his waistband. She looked so desperate he could cry. Langdon let out a shuddering breath, tears prickling the corners of his own eyes.
"Mel… I'm married," he whispered gently. Apologetically. There was an edge of warning in his tone, even if he knew it held no merit.
"That hasn't stopped you before."
In which an unhappily married Langdon falls hard and fast for Mel in the months after their reunion. As the summer wears on, Langdon is devastated to realize just how weak his will actually is. But despite the guilt... he just can't seem to keep his hands off of her.

Summary
One year after his return to the PTMC, if you asked Frank Langdon what his plans were going to be for a week in July, he probably would not have predicted he'd be spending it vacationing with his colleagues at a campground somewhere in the Poconos. But it's not just the weather that's heating up and making him sweat... his relationship with Mel King is on the verge of becoming something else entirely.

“I need your help.”
