"You have the biggest heart of anyone I know." - "For the love of God! Would you give it up already?! This. Is who I am. Can you not see that?!!" Her voice echoes through the empty house. "Who I see is someone that I believe in and someone that I really care about!" - Karen sees a lonely looking girl on the side of the road by Hawkins High school. She feels a pull towards this girl especially after some days of seeing her in places walking alone where nobody usually walks alone. The pull to know who the teenage girl is grows stronger with each second. Will Karen figure out her name? And how will her family react to all she is doing for this stranger?

After everything Hawkins has been through, life is supposed to go back to normal. Joyce Byers and Karen Wheeler are both still living the lives they chose - with the people they're supposed to be with. They're not looking for anything. They're not missing anything At least, that's what they tell themselves. But when chance encounters turn into quiet conversations, something begins to shift. Not love. Not yet. Just a pull they don't have a name for. A slow burn story about unspoken feelings, familiarity and two women who never learned how to choose themselves. #StrangerThings #JoyceByers #KarenWheeler #SlowBurn #WLW #Emotional

Set in Hawkins, Indiana, during the uneasy calm after the town's many near-disasters, Between the Wallpaper and the Quiet follows Karen Wheeler, a woman who has spent years holding her family together while quietly losing pieces of herself. With Ted emotionally absent and her children growing beyond her reach, Karen finds herself confronting a deep loneliness she has never allowed herself to name. When she meets Eleanor Harper, a new arrival in Hawkins with her own reasons for keeping her head down, Karen's carefully maintained domestic life begins to shift. What starts as tentative friendship, shared coffee, late-night conversations, and unspoken understanding, slowly becomes something far more dangerous and far more honest. As Hawkins remains a town that hides its secrets behind lace curtains and polite smiles, Karen must decide whether safety is worth the cost of silence.
