Summary
His car smelled the same, the leather cushions hugged her body the same, but the feeling of riding passenger to Steve Harrington didn't feel the same. Not the way it did two years prior when a simple drive could lead to them fogging up the windows. Not the way it did two months ago when Steve told her about his dream of six little nuggets.
Six? Was he crazy? She'd maybe have two.
And not with him.
So.. with Jonathan?
The sink hole reopened in her stomach.
OR
Nancy feels suffocated now that the Byers have moved in.

Summary
"There are some repeated nightmares. Reruns of her favorite traumas and worst imaginings, worn familiar in their horrors. This one was new. It’s vivid. It clings to her like a damp mist. It doesn’t fade as she wakes up–the afterimages hang in her mind. The bruises. The blood. The screams. Sitting in the dark cold little motel, they grow more real, not less, taking on the feel of a premonition. "
A nightmare makes Nancy reconsider her relationship with Steve.
