    Summary

    Truth be told, she hadn’t meant to wait exactly eleven years.

    The days are long but peaceful. It took a while—almost two years, to be precise—for the tension to release from her muscles. To finally relax within the walls of her small apartment, or out under the Icelandic sun, and no longer feel as though she is being hunted, watched. She had to remind herself, actively, waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with a frightful whimper or a wanting name on her lips, that Hawkins was some three thousand miles away. That no one is looking for a girl named Eleanor Iverson in Hella, Iceland.

    Summary

    He could go home tomorrow and pretend this never happened. Invite Lucas and Max and Dustin over, play cards at the dining table and drink eggnog. None of them even know he's here.

    But he’d look at the empty seat beside him, over and over, a tongue poking at the gap where a tooth used to be. But he’d toss and turn all night, not letting her slip from his mind in the hopes that she’d at least appear in his dreams.

    But his heart pounds, insistent, as he stumbles around the town, like it knows something.

    Four years ago, El vanished with the Upside Down. Now, Mike's heart pulls him to Iceland, desperate to find her.

    Summary

    It’s rather a quiet affair. Jannik is so concentrated on alternating between looking at the sky and the screen that Carlos doesn’t even feel awkward for the silence that settles between them. He lays down, puts a hand under his head and stares up at the sky, at the stars, and tries to let the moment seep into his skin, get branded deep in his memory — Jannik’s huffs of breath, the way he clicks his tongue when the thinks, his earthy scent.

    Carlos wishes he could touch him.

    “What do you usually do in your free time?”

    As soon as the sentence leaves Carlos’ mouth, he cringes.

    Jannik gives him a strange look. “I look for extraterrestrial life. But you know that.”
