Stranger Things (TV 2016)

"I insist,” Steve says.
And, okay, typically those words would have Erica bristling to rebel. She doesn’t take orders from anyone, especially not Steve. Not when he’s consistently failed to follow through on that promise of free ice cream for life, but this is different, somehow.
Because Erica is feeling fragile, because she’s out of her depth for maybe the first time in her life and yet here, in Steve and Robin and Eddie’s apartment, is the calmest she’s felt in months.
So she says “Yeah, okay. Fine,” and leans into Steve’s side when he throws his arm around her. “But just for a couple days.”
“You’ll stay as long as you need."
--When Erica realizes Steve and Eddie are dating while she temporarily crashes with them, all she wants to do is prove she can be a good ally. But in her search to show them support, she discovers unexpected about herself.
