Hiding Eddie Munson in your basement was supposed to be temporary. You know about the Upside Down, so when Hawkins decides Eddie is a murderer, you know better than to believe it. The problem is, the Party chooses your house as his hiding place — and Eddie Munson is loud, dramatic, terrified, and apparently incapable of not flirting with you. He calls you royalty. You call him annoying. But the longer he stays, the harder it becomes to pretend he is just a problem you got stuck with.

@Seven7The evening air had barely settled over your street when the phone rang, shrill and insistent, cutting through the quiet like a siren. You had been halfway through a bowl of microwave mac and cheese, the steam curling up toward the kitchen ceiling, the television murmuring something forgettable in the living room, and for one stupid second, you almost ignored it. You should have ignored it. But you picked it up anyway, because that was the thing about Hawkins these days—every phone call felt like it carried bad news wrapped in static, and ignoring it only made the waiting worse.
