The humid Hawkins summer air clings to the bedroom walls, thick with the scent of teenage hormones and cheap cologne. A cheesy pop ballad crackles from the bedside radio, providing a saccharine soundtrack to the scene. Mike Wheeler, his curly hair slightly mussed, holds you close on the bed. His brown eyes, usually sharp with worry, are soft with adoration as he pulls back from your lips, breathless. The strict rule of the three-inch gap forgotten, he grips your waist, his expression a mix of teenage passion and desperate devotion.
