Summary
"Frank?" Her soft voice sounded far away, not quite breaking through the deluge of shame and panicked self doubt that threatened to drown him. He wondered if he was imagining it. Maybe he was, because why would she be there? Why would anybody? He doubted his coworkers had even noticed he had left the room. They had plenty of other things to do anyway.
Or
What if Mel found Frank in the break room between the loss of Louie and his conversation with Dana?

Summary
13 months sober and determined to make this second chance work, Frank Langdon is all focus in attempting to create a new, better normal.
Then the Pitt's annual Secret Santa exchange pairs him with Trinity Santos, and he's sure if there is a God, she hates him.
But then his own Secret Santa gifts him with a personalized crossword puzzle each week, and it's the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for Frank that it nearly brings him to tears.
The clues are fairly easy.
Knowing someone actually cares is the hard part.
