some nights i still pour you a glass. i know. weird, right? you'd probably make fun of me for it.

tell me it's dramatic. tell me normal people don't sit on balconies talking to dead best friends while drinking wine they definitely can't afford. but normal stopped being an option for us sometime around nineteen eighty-three.

hopper's doing okay. better than okay, actually.

joyce finally got her happy ending & somehow that stubborn old man managed to get one too. i still visit when i can, but not as much anymore. turns out it's easier to let go when the people you love finally stop looking like they're waiting for the world to end.

nancy's doing good too. i don't hate her anymore. i know, i know. don't look so smug. turns out grief makes people stupid. turns out loving somebody doesn't always mean you save them. i think i understand now why you loved her so much.

steve is still steve. which somehow means he's become a decent person. i don't know either. maybe trauma fixed him. maybe getting repeatedly attacked by multidimensional monsters is good for character development. i'll let science figure that one out.

the point is... everybody kept going.

we survived. or at least we're trying to. but sometimes the sky looks right, or somebody laughs the way you used to, or i catch myself reaching for the phone before remembering. and for a second, you're here again. sitting across from me. rolling your eyes. telling me i'm being dramatic.

so i keep the second glass. just in case.

because after everything that happened, after all these years, after finally learning the truth ... i still haven't quite figured out how to leave you behind.
