    Summary

    "Hello?"

    There's silence, then a sniffle, and Hopper frowns. Before he can say anything else, though, a female voice speaks.

    "Hop?"

    The whole world narrows and then stops at the sound of Joyce Maldonado's teary voice in his ear, the sound of The Hideout muffled in the background. His frown deepens.

    or: a call for help on a random April evening changes the course of both James Hopper and Joyce Maldonado's lives forever.

    Summary

    Toby was looking at her like he was already drafting the future in his mind. It was just like a speechwriter, she thought, to be writing and rewriting, crossing things out and revising them.

    She watched him scratch the invisible pen across the paper in his mind until finally he spoke.

    “Tell you what, Claudia Jean,” he said, squeezing her hand before letting it go. “If neither of us is married in, say, fifteen years, then I’ll marry you.”

    Summary

    She had planned on wallowing alone this weekend. Quiet apartment. Takeout. A little self-pity. Maybe a lot.

    But Josh looks… not fragile, exactly.

    Just untethered.

    “Oh, what the hell,” she says finally. “I’ll do it for your mother.”

    Josh pumps his fist, victorious. “Yes.”

    She points at him. “We are going as friends, right? I don’t have to like… pretend that I’m dating you?”

    “Ew. Obviously.”

    “Whatever. Go away. I gotta finish this and then I need to pack.”

    “Thank you. I owe you.”

    “You do.”

     

    ____________________________

     

    Josh needs a date to his cousin's wedding and asks C.J. She's fresh off her break up with Ben, but decides to go anyway. Chaos twin banter ensues. ... and in true romcom fashion, Josh forgets/is unaware of a few of the wedding details... namely that Danny Concannon is a groomsman.
