    Summary

    Eddie steps out of the car, right between the Methodist church and the Hawkins High School building. It's changed. A new building, new paint scheme, a freshly paved parking lot. They've remodeled, and dozed down the memories, good and bad, that clung to this place.

    The cafeteria is gone, moved somewhere new, he supposes.

    Eddie isn't sentimental for school. He hated school, the three tries he had at his senior year are enough to prove that. But he misses that time, all the same. He misses Hellfire Club. He misses playing music in Gareth's garage. He misses their weekly Tuesday gig at The Hideout.

    He misses his unlikely, and tentative friendship with Steve Harrington, that grew into their love that followed.

    He doesn't miss his hometown, except for when he does.

    Summary

    And just like that, Eddie pulls his boxers down just a smidge too low.

    Eddie wasn’t lying. The tattoo, a gorgeous, fantastical imagining of a dragon, stretches across the plane of his stomach all the way into his pubic hair.

    But that’s not what Steve’s looking at.

    Summary

    Hard winters weren’t uncommon.

    Ranchers lost most of their crops because of sudden winter storms that couldn’t have been prepared for, animals died because there wasn’t enough to feed them and families, and money was tight for months.

    It happened every few years, some years worse than others.

    But everyone usually stuck together through it, helped when they could, gave what they could.

    This was the worst winter Steve had seen in his 32 years of life.

    Summary

    ‘OK, walk me through where it went bad?’

    Chrissy is stirring her coffee, waiting for an answer while Robin eats fries, listens intently.

    Steve wants to cry. ‘It was my fault.'

    ‘We’ll be the judge of that,’ Chrissy tells him sagely. ‘Now, c’mon. What happened?’

    ‘I told him last night was a mistake.’

    Robin winces and Chrissy grimaces.

    ‘Oh. Shit, yeah, no, that’s totally your fault.’
