Jessica hadn’t really been out much since Halloween, but the itch to drink was only getting worse.  The past few months she’d taken to drinking alone with a bottle in her bed, but tonight she had the desire to be social.  Walking into the bar, she spotted Adam and gave him a small smile. She didn’t remember much from Halloween besides the look on Andrew’s face as he walked away from her but she hoped she hadn’t done anything too bad in front of Adam. “Buy me a drink?” She smirked, sitting down next to him.

“These cookies look like stockings, it’s not even Christmas yet, and not everyone’s Christian, was that their intent?”

“You heard that too?”

"Yeah." Chrissy's voice was soft. The Hawkins woods always freaked her out. They had too many bad things happen in it, and or near it. "It's probably an animal. I don't want stick around to investigate." She said, walking in the direction back to town. "Star Court Mall sounds like a better idea now." Tugging on Jess's jacket.

"Lets go get some ice cream. Maybe Steve's working. He looks cute in that silly uniform." Chrissy smiled knowing Jess was most likely thinking the same thing.

He and Jess were off work. Hanging out at Rick's place by the lake. He hadn't been here in awhile. Not since Rick got arrested. He missed the parties especially in the summer. Idiots trying to beat each other drunk how far they could swing on the rope, and jump int into the lake.

" What you think about a party by the lake tonight?" Nick suggested.

"We decided on colors for the wedding. So you can start looking for a navy bridesmaid dress. I'm not going to be one of those brides who makes all of you wear identical dresses, but it does need to be appropriate for a Catholic church." Yvonne took a sip from her drink and smiled at Jess. "If you still want to be one of my bridesmaids, that is." For once the sun was shining on London and the pair were taking advantage of the weather to eat out on the patio. The next summer still felt like a lifetime away, but the swell of her belly was ticking even faster and there wasn't going to be much time for wedding planning with an infant on top of a toddler and a preteen.

"Before you ask, I am fine, and so is the baby. So both of you can stop stressing. In English and Spanish." Yvonne gave both Jess and Félix firm stares from where she was sitting on the couch. Félix had the decency to look marginally ashamed as he leaned down to press a kiss to Yvonne's forehead. "Speaking of which, are you two done arguing about what to order yet?"

I’m here. By the maple tree.

Stef stood under the tree every day to pick the little girl up, knowing that it was safe to allow Nora to find her there. It was their routine, and she wished to share a bit of their life with Jess as much as he had wanted. 

Her breath faltered in the cool winter air; her turtleneck making her feel claustrophobic all of the sudden. It had been a few days of Stef recoiling her thoughts about how their meeting had gone. After discussing the conversation with Alessandro, she wasn’t entirely sure how she felt about the situation at hand. It felt like she was giving up a part of herself that she had kept hidden for a reason. 

Her eyes narrowed at her phone, wondering if the man had forgotten. Maybe he had gotten cold feet all of the sudden, not wanting this as much as he had previously vowed to Stef as they sat in the coffee shop. Her heart sank at the feeling of disappointment; could he have just not wanted Nora as much as she hoped he would’ve? 

As the doors to the small school opened, her eyes stretched around the perimeter, finally landing on someone that looked familiar to her. A bit of her breathing caught in her throat as she closed the jacket around her a bit tighter. “Hey, friend,” She found the smile on her lips to be more real. “I wasn’t sure that you were going to make it. I’m glad you decided to.” Her eyes moved back to the school, “School lets out at three thirty, but kindergarten comes out last.”

Normally, Andrew hated having to attend fittings. Having his work picked apart by the customers or other designers was kind of the worst, and usually he’d avoid the whole affair all together.  But today they were working on the dress for Jess. A long, sparkly, light pink thing with lots of tulle and volume. He was pretty proud with this one, had been up most of the night before adding finishing touches and sewing secret pockets into the waistline.  They’d done designs for Jess before, and Andrew had met her on those occasions, always very impressed and intimidated by her charm and personality. And style.  He was there a little late, carrying the dress over his shoulder and sipping on his signature iced coffee, sunglasses sliding low on his face. Bursting in through the glass doors, he hung the garment bag haphazardly and flopped into one of the big arm chairs by the changing area, huffing out dramatically.  “It’s too fuckin’ early to be anywhere but a bed.” He announced to everyone.
