    Summary

    Joyce understood why they called the cold bitter now, because at this moment she resented it for not allowing her to at least take Hopper’s hand for the walk without getting frost bite.

    Or

    Hopper and Joyce have made it to Alaska, and found a motel to wait for their ride home. Privacy and time give them the chance to figure out their new relationship. But Hopper hasn’t completely left Kamchatka.

    Summary

    Jim Hopper thinks he rather likes Joyce Maldonado.

    He likes the way her dark hair falls around her shoulders in frizzy ringlets and the colour of the lipstick she wears. He likes how her big brown bambi eyes shine like gold under sunbeams and the artistic gullies of her cheekbones. He likes her cheap cherry perfume that fills the whole classroom in sixth period chemistry classes on Fridays and the way she scuffs her big boots against the floor when she walks.

    But most of all, he likes the way she laughs.

    She laughs heartily with a crooked smile and scrunched eyes. It’s messy and it’s not pretty and poised like the other girls with coiffed hair and shiny pink skirts, but it's wholly hypnotising and wholly hers. He likes it so much that he sometimes thinks he loves it. 

    Or, five times Jim Hopper wants to kiss Joyce Byers, and one time he actually does.

    Summary

    Joyce is on the verge of falling apart when Hopper shows up with suspicions that Will might still be alive.
    Between relief and exhaustion, they end up crossing a line they never thought they would — at least not under these circumstances.

    Summary

    His previously almost blank-looking expression shifts. Confusion, recognition, then a smile spreads over his lips. "Joyce? Wow, is that you? I can't believe you're still here."

    Right where you left me, she thinks. Their last actual conversation before he left Hawkins—and her behind—it too had been at Melvald's. She raises her hands. A gesture of surrender, she supposes. He made it out. He kept their promise of leaving and never looking back. And she's still right here. "Yeah, well..." Her voice trails off.

    or

    Joyce and Hopper run into each other while he's in town for his father's funeral.
