Summary
On the morning of her wedding, Joyce Byers disappears down the shoreline, carrying a grief she can’t quite name. Jim Hopper finds her where the ocean keeps its secrets, and they share a cigarette and a truth that has lingered too long in the space between them. When the ceremony finally begins, love and loss stand side by side. And just before the vows are spoken, the impossible returns—turning a moment of mourning into something resembling grace.

Summary
"Hop," she said after a moment. "You know you're allowed to cry, and that we go through whatever grief we need to go through before going back to work or wherever, right?"
Hopper opened his eyes, looking at her with surprise.
"What?"
"That you're allowed to cry," Joyce repeated. "For everything you saw, for everything you felt and for Eleven. You're allowed to feel all of that. As long as in the end you realize it's not your fault, Hop. None of this is your fault, you're not a curse. A curse would never make me this happy."or

Summary
Joyce hums as she moves around the radio station's kitchen- the kids had a tendency not to put anything away, so she was attempting to tidy up the small space. It was also an excuse to keep her hands busy while Hopper and El made a supply run, so she cleans up cereal bowls and puts away half-finished sleeves of saltines, wiping down counters and doing dishes as she goes.
Jonathan and Nancy were somewhere in the station, Robin and Steve likely with them, but she hadn't seen them since she'd started her deep clean of the kitchen. She's straining on her tiptoes, trying to reach a sleeve of crackers that had fallen from an open box, when she hears the footsteps.
"I got it Mom, relax," Jonathan says, touching between her shoulders until she eased back onto her heels from her tiptoes as her eldest son snagged the crackers easily, setting them on the counter top.
"Thanks, sweetheart," Joyce said, smiling at him- but there's a shadow in her son's expression, and Joyce's brows draw together as she frowned. "What's wrong, Jonathan?"
