...is tomorrow too soon?

[agirlboss]

Not at all.

[yesdingus]

Thanks, Nance.

[agirlboss]

No problem.

Are you okay?

[yesdingus]

[She looks at the circle of bruises around her wrist and tugs her sleeve down over it.]

Yeah, I'm good.

[agirlboss]

[She's going to murder this boy!]

Hopper is going to get there before I do but I'm on my way.

[yesdingus]

[She really, really hates that Hopper is now involved.]

Okay. See you soon.

[agirlboss]

Alright.

Is Hopper there yet?

[yesdingus]

He just pulled up, yeah.

[agirlboss]

Good.

I'm about ten minutes away.

[yesdingus]

All right.

[agirlboss]

It's going to be okay.

[yesdingus]

I know.

[agirlboss]

Was anyone else around?

[yesdingus]

No, I was on by myself.

[agirlboss]

Alright.

If that asshole did or said anything threatening. You tell Hopper.

[yesdingus]

I will.

[She sends Steve a quick message: Going to be late. Will explain when I get there. Everything is okay.]

[agirlboss]

Don't be embarrassed.

[yesdingus]

[Oh they rounded embarrassment and nose-dived into horrifying humiliation the minute Hopper showed up.]

Right. Okay.

[agirlboss]

If you aren't comfortable or you're nervous talking to him, you can wait for me to get there.

[yesdingus]

It's fine. It's just -- he almost arrested me once. My junior year.

[agirlboss]

Hopper?!

[yesdingus]

Yeah. I mean, I'm really glad he's not dead though.

[agirlboss]

Do I even want to ask?

[yesdingus]

I...stole my parents' car, crashed prom and...sorta crashed my parents' car into a couple other cars at the high school?
