    Summary

    "... And there's nothing in mine and Gilbert's friendship to suggest anything romantic."
    That last sentence is an outright lie, because last night when Gilbert walked her to her door, he lingered and Anne squeaked out a goodbye before escaping into her room. Last year, when they both got into Redmond, there was a moment where she thought he might kiss her. And countless other times: eye contact during that Christmas dinner party five months ago; their platonic waltzing, mocked endlessly by Stella; Gilbert's comforting through his refusal to dismiss her tears as dramatic, after she got her first B.

    Or, 5 times someone thought Anne and Gilbert could be romantically involved, and one time they were actually right.

    Summary

    “Do you know where you’re going?”

    She realized it was a ridiculous question as it passed her lips, but Langdon looked at her, his eyes a little glassy, and shook his head no.

    (Mel and Langdon take each other in.)

    Summary

    Her thoughts are as follows: If Subject A (Mel) shows signs of discomfort, Subject B (Frank) will try to help, and vice versa. Therefore, if A is in need of a replacement for an article of clothing, B will do his best to provide A with one. 

    It’s shaky logic, all things considered, but it’s enough. 

    All that’s left is for Mel to put her hypothesis to the test.

    Or: Mel can’t stop stealing Frank’s clothes. It’s becoming quite the problem.
