A month had passed before things started to feel even a fraction of normal.

Joyce was even more protective of Will. Hell, even Jonathan was.

"Then why did it continue when he left? Why is it still going on now?"
"I'm sorry. Are you complaining about being my fake boyfriend?"
"Not at all," he faked a smile, "Just... wondering how long you plan on keeping this up. All the way until Steve and Nancy are married?"
"I haven't decided," she cleared her throat, "And can we please not mention that dreaded-"
