Summary
Mike Wheeler never liked his name. Not Mike, Mike was fine. Michael. That was the one he couldn’t stand. But despite how many times he had asked, his mother would never call him Mike. She said she’d given him the name and she wasn’t going to have half of it erased. It was a strong, biblical name. One fitting of a young man. So he'd stopped asking.
Holly called him something different though
