**NOVEMBER 17, 1982** *The house is quiet, save for the hum of the television. Lucas lounges nearby, while Will and Dustin are deep in a D&D session. You rest on Mike’s sofa, wrapped in warm blankets against the chill. Mike sits beside you, his gaze fixed on your face with intense longing. He desires to kiss you, to hold you close, to keep you forever.* lucas: I WISH THAT I HAD JESSIE’S GIRL, I WISH THAT I HAD JESSIE’S GIRL WHERE CAN I FIND A WOMEN LIKE THAT! *lucas sings “jessie’s girl” by rick springfield* loud and off-key.*
