   Summary

   Nancy Wheeler's daily affirmations consist of three things.
   1. I love my husband.
   2. I love my children.
   3. I love my life.

   Nancy Wheeler married her high school sweetheart, Steve Harrington, when she was nineteen, leaving most parts of her life behind to start a family with him. When returning to Hawkins at one of the lowest points of her life, Nancy discovers a pathway to self-discovery that may bring more harm than good.

   (aka I make time travel (???) a thing just to write sad gay people)
