Summary
Consumed — Frank Langdon is sober, divorced, and trying very hard to keep his life under control. Then there’s Mel King: brilliant, strange, kind, and suddenly at the center of every thought he has. What starts as friendship built on movie nights, shared shifts, and quiet devotion turns into an all-consuming obsession Frank can’t outrun.
He’s convinced she could never want him back and too afraid to risk losing her to ask. But one hazy night changes everything, leaving Frank with exactly what he’s always wanted… and the fear he’s ruined it forever.
Frank Langdon was utterly fucked

Summary
Becca listened with monk-like solemnity, seeming to consider all of the details, until she delivered her verdict: “Frank didn’t have his ring on, though.”
“What?”
“The last time we saw him. He didn’t have his ring on.”
Frank Langdon might be getting divorced. Melissa King might be in love with him.Bookmarked by nextfullmoon

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.
