Summary
Billy finds a dandelion as a child and makes a wish for someone that will love him forever.
-
“Tell me a story.”
Billy snorts, “what are you a baby?”
“Yes,” Max huffs and he laughs, “so tell me a story asshole.”
He is still laughing as he hums trying to think of something that will not lead to trouble if she squeals or that she has heard before. “You ever heard of a dandelion wish before?” Max shakes her head, Billy’s smile is sad as he remembers his momentary imaginary friend. “I once wished a boy into existence.”

Summary
“You said you still dream of what happened, don’t you?” Robin’s voice was soft as she knocked the toes of her sneakers together. “About Billy at the mall. When he died.”
Steve pressed his lips together and nodded. He had confided in her once after coming into work with deep set circles under his eyes. He hadn’t slept in days it felt like, his mind constantly replaying what happened each time he closed his eyes.
Robin pushed herself off the counter and turned toward the stack of videos, picking up the scanner. “I’m just saying Steve, you said you didn’t really understand Billy. And you don’t know why you still dream of what happened. Maybe the answer is inside that box.”

Thanks to Max, Steve becomes the keeper of Billy Hargrove's things after he dies in Starcourt and learns more than he ever thought he would about his old rival. It doesn't take long for Steve to realize that maybe he was wrong about Billy, which begs the question: how should he feel now?Series
