    Summary

    "Mel likes to think that she’s got her head on straight.

    She’s been planning commutes and balancing budgets and organizing home aides since she was twenty. If Mel wants something, she makes it happen. Or convinces herself that she doesn’t need it. But there’s one thing, one golden exception to her system, that Mel can’t help dreaming about.

    She wants a washing machine."

    OR

    Mel spends her Wednesdays trapped in a laundromat because her building doesn't have a machine. Frank decides laundry is more of a team sport

    Summary

    He doesn’t know why he does it, says, “Let me,” and gestures for her to turn around. He thinks she’ll wave him off, tell him not to worry, that she can do it herself.

    But she doesn’t.

    She turns around so her back is to him, and he takes a step closer, reaching up to grab onto her braid, slowly sliding the hair tie off.

    He puts it on his wrist, next to the one he already has on, and the plait almost falls apart on its own, but he can’t help putting his hands in her hair, undoing the braid and running his fingers through the strands gently.

    “There you go,” he says quietly once her hair is loose around her shoulders.

    She sighs and leans into him, her back against his chest, and tilts her head to rest on his shoulder.
