Nancy finally snaps at Robin. It should’ve been a blip. A blip with teeth.
Instead, Robin starts avoiding her.
And Nancy discovers that being haunted by monsters is nothing compared to being calmly, politely, silently removed from Robin’s orbit. -

Summary
"I'll cry quieter."
"Or you can cry with me here," he says, still looking at the floor. "You don't have to talk about... whatever it is. But just... Jesus, Nance, you're not completely alone."
She exhales shakily, looking at him in the dim light of her nightlight. He looks so much older now, even older than he did a few weeks ago. Sharper. More tired. He even sounds older. Like he's lived five lives in his fifteen years.

Nancy Wheeler is in love with a girl. Mike Wheeler is in love with a boy. They're both more alike than they though, and they're both less alone than they thought, too.

Summary
Robin’s eyes begin to gloss over again. “You don’t think so?”
“No,” she breathes. “Not at all. It’s – it’s just love, you know? That should be okay.”
And for just a moment, it’s like they’re in their own little space. There isn’t mud soaking through her shoes or snot on Robin’s sleeve, or mosquitos flashing by her face.
“Yeah,” Robin says, rivaling Nancy’s breathlessness. “Just love.”

Summary
Maybe it’s because she spends the most time thinking about hers, but it seems to her that it cannot be defined by a singular set of words or feelings. It changes with the day, with the topic, with the person she’s talking to...
...Or about.
It’s only a bit later that Ava begins to notice that Beatrice’s voice conveys how she feels about others.
She has different cues and ticks for all of them, and Ava can’t help but love each one.
She hates the way Beatrice says her name.
