The story of jopper after s4

Date

It's been two months since Joyce and Hopper returned to Hawkins and their children. The kids know very well that this is not the end of the fight with Vecna, but so far he has not found a new victim and they all live fairly normally. Joyce went back to work in the store, and Hopper was again Chief of Police, which made him very happy. At first they lived in Hopper's Cabin, and later they managed to buy a house in which each of the children had their own room and they had their bedroom. Hopper planned to propose to Joyce, but he did not know how or where to do it yet, and he had bought the ring a week ago. Joyce had 2 more hours left until the end of her working day, and Hopper came to stay with her for a while. "Hey," he said as he walked into the store with a smile Hey, "she greeted him with an equally enthusiastic smile on her face." Then she came up to him and asked, "What are you doing here?" and he embraced her face tenderly and replied, "I wanted to see you and ask you if I can take you to dinner at Enzo's tonight?" Joyce approached and kissed him and he started kissing her back when she pulled away from him and said, "Not here." There will be time for that after dinner. "I can't wait anymore," he replied, and he left without taking his eyes off her. In the evening, as they were getting ready for Enzo's, Joyce asked Jonathan to look after the siblings. -Son, I have a request for you. We're going out to dinner tonight, so could you please take care of El and Will? "Of course, Mom," he replied. Hopper left the house first and opened the car door for Joyce like a typical Gentleman. It took 10 minutes and they got there, and when they got out of the car, Hopper looked at her lovingly and said, "I haven't told you that yet, but you look stunningly beautiful in that red dress." "And you look very handsome in that black suit," she replied, giving him a kiss on the cheek. They entered Enzo's holding hands. Hopper walked over to the table he had reserved and pushed his chair back for Joyce to sit down. Then he also sat down, and the waiter immediately approached them asking what they would like to order. - I would like 2 breadsticks, 2 lasagne and a Chianti, please. -Your order will be ready in a few minutes. Joyce laughed and said, "Oh, you've finally learned to pronounce the name well." Everything for you - he replied with a smile. When the waiter brought the order, they both started eating, delighting in both the breadsticks and the lasagna. After they had a little wine in the restaurant, The Lady ln Red - Chris de Burgh started playing. It turned out that Hopper commissioned the song especially for her because he knew she would wear a red dress for the evening. He rose from the chair and shook her hand. "Can I ask you?" Hopper asked. - How could I say no to you? she replied. He hugged her waist and they began to dance slowly. He kissed her tenderly, and when he moved his lips away from her, he pressed their foreheads together and whispered, "I love you." "I love you too," she replied. Then they left Enzo's and headed for the car. When they sat down, Joyce looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "What have I done to deserve you?" . He cupped her face with both hands and replied, "Joyce, what are you saying?" After all, you saved me from this terrible prison in Russia. You've come this long way to get me out and you're still asking? But it is not everything. You also gave me something that I haven't had in a long time. After Sarah died and Diane left me, I was confused and thought that nothing good would ever happen to me again. But you and El and the boys showed up, and I started to hope. I now have a woman who loves me and wonderful kids. What more could you want ? "Thank you Jim," she said with emotion in her eyes as she leaned against his chest, and he put his arm around her tightly and replied, "You're welcome." I love you Joyce. Then he started the car and they headed home.
