Summary
Mel can’t quite shake the feeling that she’s lied. Not in the facts of the matter, not in any provable way, but by omission. She knows, logically, that what she's left out of her story is no different than Trinity being gay or Cassie being straight. Just another part of herself. But while her friends have accepted everything else about her freely and without reservation, she worries that this will be the bridge too far.
“Hey, guys?” Mel says. “By the way, I'm asexual.”

Summary
“You’re a good friend,” she added, staring at his knuckles, almost white against his knee, making the silver of the wedding band look a shade darker.
He exhaled with a laugh. “You gotta stop doing that.”
She frowned. It was suddenly cold in her little garden. “Oh. I’m sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.”
“You didn't. God, you couldn't - I just. I need you to hold me accountable, Mel.”

Summary
“I must warn you, Dr. King, I am a difficult person — resentment and pettiness are the fuel behind my research.”
“I noticed,” she says. “Your paper is angrier than you think.”
[or: Mel peer reviews Frank's paper and the rest is history.]

Summary
“Okay,” Becca says with a nod, thankful to be able to focus on the movie again as she declares, “I’m still not calling you Frank, though.”
“I guess beggars can’t be choosers, can they?”
“Nope.”
Becca likes Dr. Langdon when she meets him during her emergency room visit. It’s later, when he's introduced to her as Mel's friend Frank, that she decides she isn't so sure.
