"HANG ON," Nadine said, "I thought people were supposed to be on Max watch?"
Her and Max were sat next to each other at the dining room table, poring over Nadine's diary as she flicked through the pages, analysing every detail about her dreams she had jotted down.
After her and Steve had watched the sunrise, the man had tried insisting he would stay up to keep Nadine company, but it was obvious he was beyond exhaused. When he couldn't stifle a particularly loud yawn, Nadine forced him back down to the basement, and eventually he gave in, leaving her alone in the kitchen.
Around an hour later, Max had tapped her on the shoulder with a gentle mind if i join you? and the two had stayed and whispered for hours while the rest of the Wheeler household started to wake up.
While going theough Nadine's diary, Max was also hurriedly sketching down her own experiences from the day before, borrowing Holly's crayons to draw what she saw.
"Dustin fell asleep," Max answered Nadine's question, before gently nudging the woman's elbow with her own, "Plus, now technically you're on Max watch."
Nadine let out a quiet laugh, before turning to the page of the figure she had been seeing more recently in her nightmares, "Did you see anything like this?"
The smile from Max's face dropped, "Nadine, that's Vecna."
"Shit," Nadine looked at her sketchy drawing, "Really?"
"Yeah," Max studied the drawing again, before her expression shifted to impressed, "You're really good at drawing."
"I had lots of time to practice," the young woman wryly commented, thinking of all the time she had to kill during her childhood.
Karen Wheeler placed a plate of pancakes doused in maple syrup in front of the other two, "Help yourselves, girls."
"Thank you, Mrs Wheeler," they chorused.
Poor Karen Wheeler almost had a heart attack when she came downstairs in the morning and saw Max and Nadine sat at her table, talking in hushed whispers, but had been more than willing to accept Nadine as Nancy's friend, and had instantly started preparing breakfast.
Ted Wheeler was a lot less friendly, and when Nadine introduced herself he had muttered something along the lines of another one? before opening his paper and saying nothing more.
Holly was her favourite- a young girl with shiny blonde hair, who waved at Nadine before becoming absorbed in her light game, paying no more attention to the girls sat opposite her.
