Summary
Sydney heaves in a deep breath and looks down before speaking. "I know this can, like, ruin basically everything and I just wanna apologize in advance but also I don't wanna like, die before telling you this and wow, saying that out loud actually sounded really dramatic but I just wanted to say that I really like you? Romantically?"
For an agonizing amount of time, Carmen says nothing. Sydney adamantly refuses to look at his face, lest she very embarrassingly bursts into tears. She waits with bated breath, clenching her hands into fists.
Then Carmen shuffles and says with a detached tone, "Heard, chef."
And Sydney's heart comes crashing down.
Sydney confesses to Carmen. It goes terribly before it gets a lot better.

Summary
Frank Langdon had been sober for three hundred and sixty-three days, divorced for two hundred and twelve, and in love with Mel King for so long now that he couldn’t remember what his brain sounded like before her.
The sobriety milestones were easier to quantify.
Love, unfortunately, was less cooperative.
