   Summary

   Robin rolls her head lazily towards her, moonlight illuminating each freckle on her face. To compare them to constellations is cliché, Nancy knows, but the reflection of Ursa Minor in her eyes matches the cluster on her cheek and she can’t help but think Robin might be composed of something otherworldly, a being of stardust.

   Thirty minutes ago, she was suffocating on Steve’s couch while watching Tom Hanks drive a shiny Porsche into a lake. Now, she’s at the peak of Hawkins, bare-legged in the grass, clutching the jacket of a girl she thinks she might be falling in love with.

   (Isn’t it funny, how quickly things change?)

   ——————

   or,

   a two-day weekend beach trip, a memorable astrology lesson, and nancy wheeler’s terrifying realization that love is always, always worth the risk of losing it.
