[ Lucas's eyebrows shoot up when Will lets him in on his plan. He knows all about that special edition as it's been mentioned in more than one letter over the last few weeks. There's a momentary pang of jealousy for the fact that he hadn't thought of doing that himself. But it passes quickly. Of course, Will would know the perfect gift to get Max. Will had always been so good at seeing into others. Lucas nods, clearly impressed. ] That's a great idea. She's going to love it.

The thought makes him laugh a little, but it also reminds him of how strange Mike had said Will and Dustin had been on his trip home and how Max said they'd all acted afterwards. He looks back at Will and considers how normal he seems. Nothing like what Mike had said.
