    Summary

    Robin swept into the shop with the energy of a windstorm that had learned how to walk, cheeks pink from the cold and eyes bright with mischief. She tipped her head back and inhaled like she was tasting the air.

    “Oh,” she said reverently. “This place is delicious.”

    Behind her, Steve ducked beneath the lintel, moving with the careful balance of someone who had learned how to stand between danger and other people without thinking about it. His eyes found Nancy’s and held there, earnest and uncertain, like he wasn’t sure whether he deserved to be seen.

    Nancy felt the moment shift, routine cracking, something old and restless stirring beneath it. Whatever had been scratching at the edges of Hawkins had just found its way to her door.
