    Summary

    “How long will he be staying with you?” Mrs. Barbour asks him one evening, when he mentions that Boris will be picking him up after dinner.

    “I’m not sure,” he tells her, keeping the details, as always surrounding Boris, as vague as possible. “Just until he figures something else out.”

    Mrs. Barbour clicks her tongue at him.

    “You have such a kind heart, Theo. Be careful you don’t let him take advantage of you.”

    Summary

    “If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”

    Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

    Summary

    “I don’t have anything, if that’s what you’re looking for,” Theo says. “I’m clean.”
    “So am I. Remember how I said? Can stop anytime, no problem?” Boris raises his hands, palms towards Theo, fourteen years old again, free-handed on the BMX down the slope of Desert End Road, Look, Potter! No hands! “See? Clean. Boom, like that.”

    (Two years after Amsterdam Boris shows up on Theo’s doorstep in New York and he hasn’t had a hit in twenty-four hours.)

    Summary

    For a while it got easier, through brute-force avoidance and then moving across the country, thousands of miles away from anyone who felt like a real person.  

    But then you come back―of course you do―and it’s worse than you could’ve ever imagined, because you’re faced with the reality of it.  

    The reality of Nancy, who says they’ll just have to put off Emerson by a year or two and leaves no room for argument.  Jonathan lives in her house, for fuck’s sake, and he’d be hard-pressed to remember the last time they touched that didn’t involve them both going for the salt shaker at the same time.

    But there are worse things than Nancy.  Something he can no longer avoid.  

    Because he isn’t actually an eternal eleventh grader, coiled and ready to strike in the back alley of every dream Jonathan has had for four years.
