August 12th 1992

~~~~~~~~~~~

It was one of the hottest days on record in San Francisco , given it was the end of summer and the weather was pleasant most people were out and about enjoy their day with either a cold beverage or a cool sweet treat. I of course was stuck inside at work at an up and coming tech company , I didn't mind my job there was air conditioning , the people were nice and the pay was enough to cover my half of the rent but I still felt like something was missing. I was currently make my round about to see if anyone else needed anything from me before I left to go to lunch with my boyfriend Dennis who was a talented sports writer at the newspaper here in San Francisco. After seeing that no one needed me to do anything I grabbed my bag before hear a voice call out "Y/n" I turned to be faced with my coworker Andrea. I didn't have a problem with Andrea it's just I knew that sometimes she could be difficult , as I walked to her she added "there's a woman on the phone name Jenny , she said she needs to talk". I nodded before walking to the phone to remove it from it's reciever before saying "Hi Jenny" she responded saying "hi Y/n you know I hate to bother you at work but um Dan's not here and I don't know where he is and uh , can you watch the kids tonight" I nodded saying "of course Jen no problem what time". She sighed in relief saying "oh thanks a bunch Y/n , can you come over at six" I nodded again saying "six sounds good I'll see you then" she responded saying"alrighty bye Y/n". After getting of the phone with Jenny and putting it back on the receiver my coworker Andrea walked back to me saying "who is that anyways , she uh calls here a lot is she your sister ". I shook my head before saying "first Andrea I have a brother and second she's my neighbor , now if you don't mind I have lunch with Dennis". Andrea nodded before saying "oh Dennis Andrews , how long have you been with that whatever he does" I sighed saying "seven years and Dennis is a writer" he nodded before I could finally grab my bag and walk out of the office and off to lunch with Dennis.

~~~~~~~~~

Twenty minutes later I had arrived to the restaurant Dennis and I would always meet at , it was a small little Italian restauran that was extremely seven miles between where Dennis and I worked. Seven was Dennis and I's lucky number , it was the seventh of September when we met and are first date was at seven o'clock here at Mimi's. Dennis and I have also been together for seven years which meant everyone around us was practically waiting for Dennis to propose to me , sometimes even I would wondered if or when Dennis should ask me. My mother liked to remind me that seven years in her opinion was to long and that by now her and my father were married and had my brother and I , but I didn't want to be anything like my parents and today at lunch I decided I would tell Dennis I would be leaving my job and start applying to art school's. When I entered Mimi's I walked in to see no Dennis which was odd since we always meet at the hostess stand. I shrugged it away before walking to the hostess saying "table for two please" she nodded before asking "are you Mr. Andrews guest" I nodded as she added "right this way please". I nodded again before following her to a more secluded part of the restaurant to find Dennis sitting at the back table smoking a cigar. I had always hated when Dennis smoked especially cigars since my father would always smoke them and I didn't like to be reminded of home. Dennis finally noticed my presence saying "Hi sweetie" I responded by kissing his cheek saying "how's your day". Dennis nodded before tapping his cigar into an astray before saying "fine , how about yours" I nodded saying "it's good , better now I'm here with you" Dennis chuckled before standing up and pushing me into my chair. As the waiter left I noticed that Dennis looked nervous , like he was going to be sick or something I spoke again saying "Dennis sweetie is something wrong" he sighed saying "I quit my job today" my jaw fell as he added "I just don't really see myself going any places there" I sighed saying. "Dennis your one of the lead reporters" he nodded before saying "I know but I just want to branch out and do my own thing , I mean my parents want me to be this amazing writer and you understand I mean what would you be doing if you were in Hawkins with your parents". I signed saying "probably getting my mother off my back" he nodded saying "see and here you and I can start are own thing and I mean you do the drawling those could actually be something" I nodded again before saying "Dennis I would love to do something like that but I'm finally where I want to be in this company". He sighed saying "happy being told what to do" I responded saying "yeah I guess" Dennis spoke up again saying "and then maybe if we start working together we can talk about" I then noticed got on the ground beside me and got onto his one knee causing me gasp and him to say "what I dropped my napkin" he then took his seat back in his chair before saying "did you think I was going-". I cut him off saying "no of course not" he nodded before saying "I'm thinking about it , if you were wondering and I'm leaning towards yes" I nodded again before asking "what's making you think no" he quickly responded saying "Billy" my jaw fell again as he added "I just don't understand him". I sighed saying "Dennis I-" he cut me off saying "ditch Billy and I'll get on my knee , just think about it okay , I dont want it to ruin our lunch" as the waiter came out and brought us our food I couldn't help bit think I knew that I loved Dennis but if he wanted me to stop talking to Billy he was out of his mind and then I began to wonder weather or not I actually wanted to marry Dennis or not.

After work I decided to change my clothes before going over to Jenny's since she lived only three doors down and I knew I could be quick. Since I usually wore slacks to work I changed into a pair of jeans since I'd have an easier time chasing around three kids in those. I never minded watching Jenny's kids since I had always wanted some of my own , Jenny and her husband Dan who was around very much had three children. Charlie was the oldest he was seven , then there was Riley who was five and baby Tommy was six months old. Jenny was a waiter at Ed's dinner which was down the street from my apartment which reminded me a lot of Benny's from Hawkins. As I got to my apartment I was met by Phoebe who was Billy's on and off again girlfriend who also worked at Ed's "Hi Y/n" she said I acknowledged her saying "Hi Phoebe" I then noticed her wearing one the sweaters my mother had sent me for my birthday last year. "Well" she said "I gotta get going , I'll see you later though you should stop by and bring Daniel" I sighed saying "Dennis" she nodded saying "oh yeah right sorry , have a nice night" I nodded saying "you too". After chatting with Phoebe I walked into my apartment to find Billy in the kitchen cigarette hanging loosely from his lips , with classic rock playing in the background. I peeled my shoes off and hung up my bag before saying "so you and Phoebe are together again" he sighed saying "not exactly". I nodded saying "so is that why she's wearing my sweater" he sighed saying "you noticed" I nodded as he added "she had to work tonight and didn't want to get something on her work clothes and besides you hate that sweater , it's not even your size she'll bring it back tonight" I nodded before walking back to my bedroom causing him to ask "are you that angry" I began to change my clothes while saying "I'm not mad at you Billy it's just I think maybe you should actually ask Phoebe out to dinner go on a real date" I could hear him chuckle from the other side of the door saying "oh like you and Mr. Perfect" I sighed saying. "Billy when was the last time you actually dated someone" he sighed saying "your brother used to date around and you didn't seem to have a problem with it" I rolled my eyes as I began to tie my tennis shoes as he added "so were are you running off to tonight" I responded saying "babysitting the Albright kids" I then opened the door to my bedroom before walking past Billy and grabbing my bag saying "I should be home by eleven or whenever Jenny gets out , don't wait up" he nodded before saying "if you get bored with the stupid kids call me". I sighed saying "you don't even like kids" he shrugged saying "you dont know that" I rolled my eyes again before walking out my apartment and walked up the stairs to the 5th floor.

I knocked on the apartment door before Jenny opened it while trying to hold baby Tommy in her eyes , I quickly took his out of her arms as she gestured for me to enter her apartment as I did she spoke saying. "They've already eaten , Charlie is currently refusing to do his homework and Riley watching tv , oh and Tommy is teething so he'll probably be extra fussy I'm so sorry you had to come and do this I promise I'm looking for a sitter. I nodded saying "it's fine Jenny I dont mind , it gives me practice" she responded saying "don't you have a younger brother" I shook my head saying "no were twins and he's older" she nooded saying "well sweetie I really do appreciate it and I really am sorry , your twenty five Y/n you should be out with Billy" I corrected her saying "Dennis , Dennis is my boyfriend , Billy is my roommate" she nodded saying "I know , I like Billy more" I sighed before walking over to see Charlie at the table with the homework still in it's folder as I asked "hey buddy can o help you with your homework" he nodded causing Jenny to say "your really good at that Y/n , your kids will be lucky to have you" I nodded before asking "Jenny how did you know you wanted to get married" she sighed saying. "I dont know Y/n , I think Dan and I got married because we wanted to start a family why". I sighed saying "Dennis was talking about getting married today and he said he'd actually seriously consider it if Billy and I stopped being friends" Jenny sighed saying "well I don't think that's sounds good , what about your mom cam you talk to her about this". I shook my head saying if I talk to mom she'd probably agree with Dennis and I love him but when I imagine getting married I'm not sure if I see it being Dennis , I dont know if I see us bringing a baby home from the hospital and buying a house together" Jenny sighed saying "then I think you have your answer there". When Jenny left and the kids were put to bed I began to think about what she had said maybe if I couldn't talk to my mom , there was still someone I could talk too and I knew that had to be my brother.

i also wanted to mention that chapter on the northwest rebellion was as salty as expected

 The Deputy Superintendent General of Indian Affairs came out from Ottawa, declined to visit the reservations when Captain Denny asked him to (because hey this whole giving-them-permission-to-leave thing is stupid and they KNOW that and bring it up every single time) and this guy was “backwards” meeting the chiefs that specifically came to see him etc, and then he zoomed back to Ottawa. He then sent Captain Denny a letter to fire xyz people (’you dont need a clerk you can do that job yourself’) so Denny replied with his resignation and the saltiest letter I’ve read in a long time like “It will be hard on the poor clerk who literally just arrived after a hard and terribly long journey when instead of firing him I have to give him my job because I’m too busy to do his” sort of deal and when this guy from Ottawa tried to deny First Nations people permits to leave the reservations the Commissioner responded just as salty saying “this shows a total want of knowledge on his part of the treaties made with the western Indians, in which it was distinctly stipulated that they might travel anywhere throughout the country” and I’m dying

like yeah they still have this ah Victorian sense of “civilized” and “self supporting”, they’re not totally sympathetic to the rebellion/resistance, and they aren’t 100% fantastic with dealing with the First Nations and Metis but the amount of salt and bitterness on their behalf was a little unexpected when I picked up this book. It’s delightful.
