Summary
They say the first year of sobriety is the hardest.
“I’m not high.”
It takes her by surprise, as it does every time they talk about it in the open like this. She wonders if other people have assumed that about him, for the reply to be so close to the surface.
“I didn’t think you were.”

Summary
“I swear I’ve mentioned Alex before,” Mel murmurs, frowning down at her phone, still not clocking how she’s short-circuited Frank’s brain. It's a blue screen of death up there. Hi, you’ve reached Dr. Frank Langdon. I’m not available to talk right now, but leave a message, and I might get back to you. Beeeeeep.
The picture continues to shine cheerily up at them, silently mocking Frank. He forces himself to look away and swallows with difficulty. “I think I'd remember if you'd told me about your ‘best friend’ who you ‘used to be in love with.’”
