80. Is your seatbelt on?

✨✨✨

El was sat in the passenger seat on Hopper's Police Truck, waiting for Hopper to say bye to Joyce.

Mike leaned over the door, sticking his head into the truck, to quickly peck her lips whilst Hopper wasn't looking (that's how they sneaked most of their kisses when El and Hopper lived in the cabin). He looked up at her, which felt odd to the pair because Mike was almost a foot taller than tiny El.

"Is your seatbelt on?" Mike asked, not looking down to see if it was.

She rolled her eyes, and flashed the black belt in front of Mike, showing that she was wearing it. "Obviously," she stated, Hopper had taught her that she had to wear a seatbelt now that the law of wearing one was starting to be enforced in Indiana.

"I'll see you when you get back?" Mike asked, reaching into the car, to give her hand a squeeze of comfort, El always felt jittery and nervous when she went to go visit her mama and aunt Becky.

She nods and kisses Mike's cheek as Hopper walks over. "HANDS OFF MY DAUGHTER, WHEELER!"

✨✨✨

El sat at her mama's side, holding her hand - El watching the TV, Terry was just staring into space, not paying any attention.

Hopper sat at the kitchen table with Becky, watching the mother-daughter duo. "Thank you for letting Jane visit," Becky said, smiling at her sister, who has been so damaged that she can't recognise her own daughter, and it breaks Becky's heart.

"Anytime, Becky," Hopper replied, not taking his eyes of El. "She begs me to let her visit, even though she knows I will always say yes, I can't keep her away from you two. You're her family, as much as she is my daughter," It still made his heart flutter whenever he called El his daughter. He'd really gotten a second chance after Sara.
