    Summary

    There are things I don't know how to ask for, sometimes, Nancy had confessed to the darkness. Sometimes I just... can't. Ask for things. Choose things.

    You can ask me for anything, Robin had tried to reassure her. I might not be able to give it to you, I mean. I don't know what it is, but... I wouldn't judge you.

    She'd heard Nancy sigh and felt her roll over, facing her, whispering so close Robin could feel it. No. I am asking. That's what... I'm asking you to not make me ask. I'm asking you not to ask. To not make me choose, sometimes. Sometimes I just need you to choose. For me.

    Summary

    Robin walked up the quiet little street on the other side of the lot, and sure enough the house was right where it was supposed to be, and there were a lot of seashells on the porch but she picked up the only one that looked like it might be able to hold a key, a big spiral-y snaily kind of shell, and she heard the telltale rattle of something in there, and when she dumped the single brass key out into her hand it was warm.

    From the porch here she could see the ocean just over a little concrete wall where the street ended, not more than a few houses away. Prime real estate, she guessed.

    Summary

    Robin hadn't been sleeping. It was past 1am and she certainly should have been sleeping. And she had fully intended on sleeping when she'd laid down. But sometimes Nancy couldn't sleep, and sometimes when Nancy couldn't sleep she called Robin. And Robin had made herself a deal that the next time Nancy called her because she couldn't sleep, the next time Nancy showed up on her doorstep in the middle of the night looking for conversation or just company, Robin would tell her.

    Summary

    Robin hoped she looked as cool as she hoped she sounded. Cool as a cucumber. She hoped she hadn't said that out loud. It wasn't really actionable advice.

    She felt kind of cool, her inner and outer monologues notwithstanding. It was cool, to be the person strolling the fairgrounds of the Hawkins Halloween Spooktacular Fall Fair with Nancy Wheeler. And the weather was cool and crisp, and the sky was clear and dark, and Nancy's nose was a little pink, and Robin wanted to kiss it.
