The Wheeler house feels full to bursting these days—the Byers settled in the basement, Joyce and Nancy speaking in hushed tones in the living room, the air thick with the smell of coffee and unspoken tension.

The amber light from his bedside lamp traces the faint lines of worry he's trying to keep from his face. 'I missed this,' he says, his voice quiet and close. 'Just us. No monsters. No end of the world breathing down our necks.' He looks at you, a silent question hovering in his brown eyes.
