Summary
“So listen,” Robby says, “I heard you’ve uh, well, that you’re living with Dr. King. Is there any truth to that statement?”
Frank groans.
“Yeah, yes, I’m living with her,” he says and Robby gets that crazy look in his eyes so Frank barrels on, “It’s not like that. Robby it’s not,” and Robby doesn’t look like he believes him one bit. “I’m living in her spare room and I pay her rent. We’re roommates. That’s not a crime.”
or: frank gets out of rehab, gets divorced, and needs somewhere to live. enter mel.

Summary
It was probably a good thing that no one assumed that Mel and Frank could possibly be dating. They had agreed to keep it a secret, after all.
But, come on. Not one rumor? Really?
It was starting to piss Frank off.

Summary
Adriana doesn’t tell their parents that she’s going to LA. She doesn’t tell Eddie, either—or ask, for that matter.
She does ask Chris, and he thinks it’s a good idea—says as much, on the phone, and doesn’t say much else.
“Buck will probably be hovering,” is what Chris does volunteer.
It still surprises her when the man who opens the door is not Eddie. It’s—Captain America, is the thing that actually comes to mind—a man close to a foot taller than she is, if not more than that, with blond curls and broad shoulders, and he’s got a question in his very blue eyes that’s probably less friendly than the one he actually asks her.
“Uh,” he says. “Can I help you?”
—
Or: Adriana arrives in LA. Maddie has been here the whole time.

Summary
“Oh, wow,” Hen says, eyes wide as she looks down at Eddie’s phone screen. “That really is a cat.”
“Why do you sound so surprised?” Eddie asks, as Chim joins Hen. “I told you I was adopting a cat. Now I have a cat.”
“He’s got your moustache,” Chim comments. “Is that why you chose him? So you wouldn’t feel so alone when we make fun of it?”
Hen snorts and Eddie sends a glare her way.
“No,” he says petulantly. “That’s not why.”
Eddie’s well aware he’s not being entirely truthful—he did kind of pick Freddie because of their matching moustaches—but Hen and Chim don't need to know that.
*
(Chris goes to Texas for the summer. Eddie adopts a bunch of cats about it.)
