Summary
It starts with a bar. Well, it starts with two bars. Two bars, three bartenders, and one very overwhelmed PhD candidate plus his apprentice. And an email. Two emails, if you want to get specific. Though Anakin would argue that the second email doesn’t even count. You know what? It’s not important. It starts with blueberries.

Summary
“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.- Language:

Summary
“What’s she like?”
“She looks a lot like Mel.”
“Oh, really? That’s — well, Mel is beautiful. She’s — yeah,” he stutters. “So, that’s good then.”
He nods a few times, trying to convince himself this really is good, and a not fucking sign from the universe that everything leads back to Mel for him.
“I just have to say it. Frank, she is Mel.”
“Fuck,” he says and walks up the steps to window to see for himself.
She’s there, sitting at a table by herself and looking like a dream with her hair loose and an oversized sweater on that he has the urge to put his hands under.
“Fuck,” he repeats. “How the fuck did this happen?”

Summary
“I have to go.” Lucy gasps out.
Lockwood swallows harshly, face flushed. “Yeah. Me too.”
Except they both stay there, her hands clutching his coat lapels (when did they get there?), his buried in her hair (when did they get there?), chests brushing with every heavy breath.
“I really have to go.” Lucy says.
“Mmhmm.” Lockwood agrees, but then his mouth is descending back to hers.
or; Lucy might have left Lockwood and Co, but she can't get Lockwood out of her system.
