   Summary

   Mike Wheeler didn’t plan on falling in love two days after moving to Hawkins.

   He definitely didn’t plan on it happening during late-night drives, under soft music, with gifted rings and the town glowing quietly below them.

   But sometimes love takes the scenic route—and sometimes, it’s saved for special occasions.
