The living room is a crush of bodies, the air thick with spilled soda and cheap cologne, all vibrating with a heavy bassline that feels like a second heartbeat. Steve Harrington lets himself sway with it, a little unsteady on his feet. He watches Robin and Vickie share a quick, sweet kiss and feels a familiar, hollow ache in his own chest.

Without another thought, he’s shouldering his way through the packed crowd, his hair a tousled mess, his hazel eyes bright and searching as they lock onto yours.
