imagine abbot refusing to let his goddaughters rent a shitty apartment when he has a huge af house, so he takes them in (only way to help since she refuses to use the money he sends her monthly) and they start sharing his car and stuff.

and it's not really obvious at first until something happens at work either to him or to mel and the other shows up and starts acting like a mother hen. and then every little interaction starts being analysed by the others like in some crime documentary.

mel picking abbot up on her day off so that he doesn't have to drive with a throbbing leg?? omg they know where the other lives (absolute shock to evryone since robby is the only one that knows where abbot lives). abbot bring in the pickiest boba order known to mankind for mel and telling her that he made some lasagna for her and becca?? dear lord wtf is going on.

and then the final blow. abbot bringing mel a change of glasses because someone broke it at work so he came in earlier to give them to her.

Actually, Mel's excited about a lot of things going into the new school year. She’s excited to co-teach with Dr. Mohan and Mr. Langdon. She’s excited to continue supporting the kids on her caseload from the previous year, and she knows writing their IEPs will go so much better now that she knows them and their families a little. She’s excited that her Physics class will be entirely made up of students she taught in Chemistry the previous year; they were a great group. There are things to worry about, too. Co-teaching with two new people again. The daily possibility that she’s going to do something overwhelmingly embarrassing in front of Langdon. Still not knowing where she should go during her prep periods. That she’s going to be just as alone as she’s always been at work, but with some added disappointment because she’s let her hopes get up, just a little. There’s no way that she and Langdon can co-teach as well as she hopes. She’s sure her bubble will burst soon enough, that her crush will fade, and everything will settle back to baseline. (It doesn't.)
