    Summary

    “Mr. and Mrs. Langdon?” she calls. 

    The couple’s heads swivel in unison until they land on her, and the woman’s anxious expression drops into a frown. It’s not quite the reaction Mel is expecting, but she is a stranger. She doesn’t know what Frank has told them about her, if he’s shown them her picture or anything. They’re probably just wondering how she knows who they are.  

    “Hi.” She sticks out her hand for the man to shake. “I’m Dr. Melissa King. I’m a… friend of Frank’s. I can get you your visitor’s passes and take you back to see him…”

    Mr. Langdon gives her hand a perfunctory shake. But when Mel turns to his wife, she just looks Mel up and down, her lips pressed into a thin line, as Mel stands there, toes curling up tight inside her sneakers and her shoulders creeping up to her ears.  

    “Oh, we know who you are,” Frank’s mom says, voice loud enough to carry over the din of the waiting room. “You’re the whore who stole our son away from the mother of his children.”

    Summary

    Actually, Mel's excited about a lot of things going into the new school year. She’s excited to co-teach with Dr. Mohan and Mr. Langdon. She’s excited to continue supporting the kids on her caseload from the previous year, and she knows writing their IEPs will go so much better now that she knows them and their families a little. She’s excited that her Physics class will be entirely made up of students she taught in Chemistry the previous year; they were a great group.

    There are things to worry about, too. Co-teaching with two new people again. The daily possibility that she’s going to do something overwhelmingly embarrassing in front of Langdon. Still not knowing where she should go during her prep periods. That she’s going to be just as alone as she’s always been at work, but with some added disappointment because she’s let her hopes get up, just a little.

    There’s no way that she and Langdon can co-teach as well as she hopes. She’s sure her bubble will burst soon enough, that her crush will fade, and everything will settle back to baseline.

    (It doesn't.)

    Summary

    Bucky’s crying before he’s off the boat and he’s the least surprised out of anyone to realize it.

    He’s always been a softie, a leaky faucet, and the war hasn’t changed that, so he doesn’t know why the sob that smacks him startles him bad enough that he grips the strap of his bag doubly hard, ready to swing it around like a battering ram, ready to find that cloying, invisible enemy. He’s not being ambushed, on his belly in the muck and camellias, cypress hanging low, moonlight casting an eerie smile upon Lake Como like it’s enjoying the hell out of muffled gunshots and the wet grunt of lifeblood spattering onto the undergrowth. He’s not trucking through a river that sucks at his boots like quicksand kisses, gun raised and one eye squinted shut to peek through the scope. He’s not under the street in Liverpool clutching his own hand to hide the shake, catching Peggy’s eye across the deep dank dark like she’d have anything solid to give him besides that wan shrug.

    That’s done. He’s safe.

    He’s just a weenie.
