Summary
Jackie wouldn't consider herself a player.
A player wasn't honest, they deceived and moved around in a secretive way.
Jackie was honest from the go, she placed all her cards facing up. Always allowing the other person to see before taking a decision.
And if, even after that, they didn't feel like leaving. Who was she to force them?---
Jackie plays the field in more than one way.
And Nat is there, like a moth to the fire, always closed to feel the warmth but never to fully get set on fire.
They meet, they crash, they blend and fight, in more than one way.

Summary
It happens almost too fast for her to be afraid.
As soon as El hears the tires popping on Hopper's truck, she knows the military has caught up to them. She unlaces her arm from Mike's, and as soon as the truck jolts with impact, she rolls out of the truck, hitting the ground hard, almost exactly at the border between the Upside Down and the Right Side Up.
She wants to scream at the cruelty of it all. Just as she accepted hope, it gets ripped out from beneath her, dreams shattering like porcelain under her feet.
Kali was right. Happiness isn't how the story goes for someone like her.
OR
Mikes' theory is wrong, but El survives the collapse of the Upside Down anyway, ending up trapped in the world where they killed Vecna less than an hour ago. Stuck in a foreign world with no way back, El wallows in misery before deciding to get revenge for Papa's program and open up another wormhole for her to come home. Because she was the one who created the Upside Down in the first place, so why can't she do it again to get back home?
And Mike, after accepting his grief for the first time in 18 months, learns there's nothing in the universe strong enough to get between El and her happy ending.

Somehow, he didn't think that included following him to Iceland with nothing but Mike's coke fantasies as proof.

Summary
“It’s like something’s been on your mind for a while and you’re not—you’re just keeping it to yourself.”
Her throat works. “Am I not allowed to do that?”
She doesn’t mean to sound defensive, but the words come out like that anyway. Mike blinks, a little surprised and she can’t blame him for it, but the gentleness of his voice doesn’t fade. “Of course you are,” he says with a nod. Never one to deny her anything.
It sends an aching pang through her chest. He’s always on her side, puts her above everyone else—including himself. He has shown it to her time and time again, proved to her repeatedly that nothing is more important to him than she is. And that—that worries her.
