“Uh, yeah. Well, it’s Frank. Langdon. Langdon’s my last name,” he said.

“Well,” she said, “nice to meet you then, Frankie.”

He shuddered.

“It’s just Frank. Only my dad calls me Frankie so that means I hate it.”

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE GOOD by kingdoncrumbs

first chapter coming 6/23 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

my story was inspired by the AMAZING edit that tiktok user @ likethepoetssaid who was inspired by one of my favorite poems by mary oliver 💞 one of my favorite parts of mel and langdons connection is the way they get to put down the roles and expectations while together. my story is about them teaching each other, eventually, that they have a place in the family of things.
