    Summary

    To understand social interactions better, Mel makes a spreadsheet cataloging her co-workers responses. She incorporates aspects of others' personalities into her own, noting how they respond. The data is useful and comprehensive and Mel is satisfied with the experiment, so she stops.

    Until Frank Langdon shows back up and punches a big hole in her carefully cultivated data.

    Summary

    “Frank Langdon, are you cheating on your wife with the new R2?” Robby asked him bluntly, not even trying to disguise the disappointment in his eyes.

    Then Frank did the absolute last thing he should have done. He burst into laughter.

    “Is this funny to you?” Robby almost growled, “you have a wife and kids at home! A wife who delayed medical school to have your kids and you go and cheat on her with someone you knew from medical school? That’s fucked up, man.”

    Frank stood ramrod straight and shook his head furiously. “No, no, no!” he protested. “That is one hundred percent not what is happening. Mel is my wife. My only wife,” he clarified unnecessarily.

    Robby’s anger simmered, his eyes now furrowed in confusion. “I thought your wife’s name was Abby?”

    Frank’s face filled with horror. His face turning pale. It was then he realised that he’d fucked up. He fucked up so bad. Like a generationally bad fuck up.

    AKA the one where a family inside joke leads to the entire Pitt Crew thinking that Frank is cheating on his wife with, well…his actual wife.

    Summary

    Trinity tilted her head to the side with a curious look at Mel. She did this sometimes when she realized there was some fundamental knowledge about social rules that Mel didn’t have. It happened more often than Mel would’ve liked. “That’s kind of why people flirt, Mel. To figure out if someone likes you back without having to say it outright.”

    “Oh.”

    Trinity leaned closer to Mel with a mischievous grin. “Is there someone you’d like to test the waters with?”

    OR: Mel decides to try flirting with Frank.

    Summary

    “Mel is, like, so … sweet and innocent,” someone said. It sounded a lot like Santos. “You don’t get to fuck up her life too. She doesn’t deserve that.”

    That word: innocent. Mel hated that word. Like she wasn’t twenty-eight years old. Like she wasn’t a fully grown adult.

    OR: Mel overhears Santos calling her “innocent” and immediately spirals.

    Summary

    “Woah— don’t go dying on me there.” Robby mumbled, a tense chuckle punctuating his words. Dennis scrambled to speak, to create any combination of words that would save him from the shitstorm brewing right in front of his eyes.

    “I’m—“ he took in a wheezy breath, throat gradually clearing of the offending hoppy suds now sprayed out on the table in front of him. “I’m okay— I’m okay Robby. Sorry I didn’t mean to- I mean— it’s not like I’m—“

    “Nice hat, Huckleberry.” Fuck, Trinity. The comfort of being saved of an explanation was quickly replaced with a white hot embarrassment at the reminder of the teasing grin that was still plastered on his roommate's face. His teary eyes met hers as she leaned in close to his ear, picking up Dennis’s hat in one smooth motion and placing it on her own head. “Didn’t know you were in the business of saving horses.”

    --

    There are some unspoken rules when it comes to properly wearing a cowboy hat. Dennis knows these rules. Robby does not.
