Summary
Mike Wheeler tells himself he’s just tired.
That he’s just lonely.
That he just misses his best friend.When the old painting and an even older truth refuse to leave him alone, Mike makes a late-night decision: drive two hours, knock on Will Byers’ door, pretend nothing has changed.
But seeing Will happy cracks something open Mike has spent years refusing to name.
Jealousy is a feeling he doesn’t recognize.
Denial is one he knows by heart.
