@sainthey liked for a thing!
Will had told Max that Joyce wanted to stop by and check on her. Ordinarily, she would have tried not to cry, but given everything that’s happened, she’d let it happen. She loves her mom, really she does. But Joyce has always represented a stability that Susan never quite got the hang of. So no, Joyce isn’t her mom, but Max can’t help feeling just a little bit safer when Joyce enters the room. “Hi Mrs. Byers,” Max says softly, assuming it is Joyce and not one of the nurses.
