Summary
He moves forward, crossing the kitchen in a single step. He's blocked her in, head slightly above hers. He reaches down and pulls the bourbon glass out from between her open legs, and takes a drink, not missing the flutter of her pulse in her neck as his arm glides over her thigh. "You sure you're okay with seeing me every time you look at your kid? I mean, we don't exactly get along."
"Yeah, but I believe your tragic personality flaws are things that can be parented out." Her eyes flick down to his hand then back up at him. "You gonna get me a new drink, or what?"

Summary
Abbot is all restraint, all talk and no bite. Samira knows he's been flirting with her, because she'd discovered weeks ago she's been flirting right back.
And if you think about it -
Eight months is a long time with just her fingers.
"Jack." Samira says and the reaction it elicits immediately sets her heart pounding. Dr. Abbot - Jack - inhales sharply, eyes widening. He takes a step forward, pure instinct driven, before stopping himself. And, oh. There's a power that she suddenly feels, coursing through her veins and setting her blood on fire.
"Walk me home?"

Summary
“You’re not my fuckin’ dad,” he snaps, finally gaining the remaining of his voice. It tastes like freedom, like breathing when the noose is loose while he steadies his weight on his tiptoes, albeit fleeting.
Henry doesn’t frown. The muscles in his shoulder slacken as he tilts his head. A challenge. Will hates that the sight makes him squirm. “Am I not?”

Dr. Kay is literally out for blood and about to get more than she bargained for.

Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.

Summary
“It’s a 20-sided dice.” William explains as if it is not obvious looking at the plastic icosahedron resting on his palm.
“I was thinking.” White teeth on soft yellows. “For when you have the Bad Thoughts again.” Henry wants to draw his own hands. Maybe even William’s as well, for good measure. “You should roll it. You can only do the Bad Thought if you roll a 20.”
(Or: Henry remembers a cave (no, the mines), remembers entering the crack in the rocks. He remembers walking (squeezing, r u n n i n g, crawling) through the empty deep darkness for a long, long time. It had felt like decades but also just like a few ticks of the clock, life in that whispering void. When he comes (retched, disowned) out back into the light it is November 13, 1983 and he is carrying a small, pale shivering boy ( W i l l i a m ? ) in his mangled dead arms.)

Summary
There was a plan, if Lucas remembers correctly. Rescue the kids. Kill Vecna. Save the world. Done, done, and done.
And then there was another thing. A closing bullet point on the to-do list. He hasn’t stopped thinking about it. If anything, he’s thought more and more about it every second. To the point where it’s almost debilitating.
Like, there was a larger question, which is, Does Lucas Sinclair like boys, and while it’s hard to say for certain, the answer is really skewing yes lately. Everywhere he looks he’s noticing guys like they’re a brand-new species. It turns out Steve is hot, if you can get past the part where he’s basically been their glorified babysitter for several years. Dustin’s alright, but the mullet works against him as much as Mike getting rid of the mullet is working for him. Mostly, these are passing observations. Acknowledged and then dismissed. Whatever. Lucas thinks guys are hot now. Or always did and never noticed.
But there’s also a much narrower, more precise question, tapering off like an arrowhead, pointing directly at Will.
