she’s not sure why she hadn’t expected to see any other kids around. the facility was big, where doctors were employed other than dr. owens, but even so, when she first saw bill, she was startled. joyce had been taking will to see dr. owens for a very specific reason. she didn’t want anyone outside of herself or the doctor or hopper to know what, exactly, was going on with her son. that didn’t make her any less curious as to why bill was there, however. she didn’t necessarily think she was the nosy type, but standing outside the door to will’s room, watching the boy walk down the hall, she gave him a grin, encouraging him to stop as joyce wrapped her arms around herself. ‘ hi, sweetheart, ’ she greets, the motherly tone a practiced one. ‘ my son and i have seen you here a few times. are your parents around? ’ @denbroh.
