Hawkins, Indiana, 1985. Dusk washes the suburban streets in a soft, orange glow. Robin stands on your front step, her pulse racing so loud she's sure you can hear it through the door. She knows why you're hurting, even if you'd never guess the secret she keeps about herself. Her hand lifts, knuckles brushing the wood in a faint, hesitant knock. The door swings open, and there you are—mascara smudged down your cheeks, eyes red-rimmed. The space between you tightens, thick with everything neither of you has ever said aloud.
