(She changes everything.)
OR — Over a series of late night talks, texts, FaceTimes, and maybe dates, Langdon and Mel fall in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

Summary
It wasn’t a word that Mel would personally have come up with, but Trinity had a name for what Langdon had turned into after his divorce.
Fuckboy.
As Mel sat across from Frank at a dim sum and noodle restaurant down the street from the hospital, a place that at some point had become their restaurant, listening to Frank recount the details of his latest hook-up, Mel couldn’t help but turn the word over in her mind.
“She gave surprisingly good head,” Frank said, between bites of a dumpling. “Oral wasn’t really something Abby and I had done in years. If we had sex at all it was sort of perfunctory missionary to reset the clock. God. I missed blow-jobs.”
“Well. I’m glad it went well. Getting your needs met is important,” was all Mel could manage. Truthfully, hearing the details of Frank’s escapades generally turned her stomach, but there was so much more to their friendship she loved that made swallowing this particular notch in her throat worth it.

Summary
The two of them watched silently for a moment, anxiously waiting to see if there was enough bleeding to soak through the generous amount of gauze. When that didn’t happen, they each let out another breath.
A small smile curled at the corner of Mel’s lips, though she wasn’t quite sure why. Langdon, who’s mouth had been hanging slightly open in focus, instantly mirrored the expression when he glanced up to check on her again.
“Well that’s a new one.”
“What, you’ve never taken glass out of someone’s arm before?” She was incredulous.
“No, I’ve never had someone smile at me right after I removed glass from their arm.” Mel’s smile widened.
“Guess I’m just happy to be glass free.” She shrugged. “Well, almost glass free.” Touching the frame of her glasses.
“Those you should keep.” He said, returning his focus to her arm.
