" it could’ve been a lot worse. " / karen & mike.
eyes widen upon hearing mike's word, big box filled with items ready to be donated being placed harshly against the table before turning around. ‘ mike, don't say that ! do you know how many people were affected by the earthquake ? ’ so many people injured, families torn apart. it honestly felt like hawkins had been cursed, even if karen knew that was just a non-sense narrative that the press was trying to spread. his son, being part of a cult ? please, clearly they had never met him. ‘ i'm just glad you weren't home when it happened. to think that something could've happened to you ... ’ she shudders to even think about it, shaking her head in an attempt to shake the awful thought. she hesitates before speaking again, softly this time. ‘ but you know ... i'm always here for you if you ever want to talk about it. about maxine or ... that other friend of yours. ’ that kid the whole town claimed was the devil himself. karen never knew much about him, but if mike and him were really friends, then she was sure he was a good kid.
