Summary
There's a little bronze vase built into the foot of the headstone. Nancy digs out the grass clippings and sticky cobwebs that have accumulated since the last time someone used it, then sits down cross-legged on the grass, the way she used to sit on her bed across from Barb while they worked on their homework and whispered secrets and hopes and dreams. She unwraps the plastic from the flowers and settles them into the vase, then retrieves the water bottle from her bag to fill it.
"Hey," she says quietly. "Hey, Barb."

Summary
Steve makes a face at Eddie. “You've imagined doing stuff with a guy?”
“Yeah, man,” Eddie replies, spreading his hands wide. “Doesn't everyone?”
Steve tilts his head to the side as he thinks. Maybe not very often, but his freshman year when Davey Riggs had been swim team captain? Yeah, he had definitely imagined some stuff that had made trips to the locker room kinda awkward.
“Yeah, that's true,” Steve answers, nodding. “I wonder why everybody acts like it's so gross, though.”
In the summer of 1986, Steve and Eddie have some perfectly normal fun between a couple of perfectly normal dudes.
