    Summary

    and nancy always wants to scream, especially on those mornings, scream but the suburbs will swallow their sound just like it does everything else—failing marriages and broken bicycles and poorly kept secrets and government conspiracies—and why bother anyway, it’s not like anyone would understand her, would know this pain, would know what it was like to be only feet away when—

    Summary

    there’s only so many directions her mind can be heading at once—saving the world, saving her sister, praying her mother and father won’t die, asking that mike’s okay wherever he is, rationalizing her own future, hoping that she won’t die before she has the chance to figure it out, carving the score over and over and over and over again, the tally marks she’s considered pressing into the sensitive skin near her elbow, one, two, three…

    Summary

    steve’s the caged leopard he saw at the zoo, but he knows the second he leaves hawkins he’d crumble into salt and fly into the wind, because there’s no way he wouldn’t look back to wonder if nancy had noticed he was gone.

    Summary


    Not a creature was stirring, the story goes, but that's bullshit. Everyone is stirring. Redbird is stirring vodka into jungle juice. Taylor is stirring trouble with Davis about his ex when it's really about hers. Lacie Barone is stirring gossip while eye-fucking Jeremiah across the room.

    And Conrad? Conrad is stirring up the ghosts of every time he's made Belly gasp his name.

    Summary

    So badly she wants to lie to herself and pretend she doesn’t know where this conversation, this confession, is coming from, like they haven’t been building up to it since the night Steve leapt headfirst into Lover’s Lake.
