Hopper's not expecting anyone, but Beverly's here -- she's been here a lot lately, which he actually kind of likes, even if he hates the reason she feels like she can't stay at the Home these days -- and he's used to a time when kids ran back and forth and knocked on doors all the time when they wanted to see their friends. At the moment he's in the kitchen putting together lunch, which isn't much, he's not a cook, but he figures peanut butter and jelly sandwiches aren't too terrible and he's licking grape jelly off his thumb as he heads for the door.
"Yeah, just a sec," he calls, because his hands are sticky and he has to double back and head into the kitchen again to grab a towel, wiping his fingers hastily.
When he opens the door and finds a teenage girl on the other side, he pushes it wider to let her in. Kids in this place aren't as trusting as they were in Hawkins, so he doesn't expect her to just hop on in, but if she's here because she's friends with Beverly, it'd be nice if she didn't think him a complete ass right off the bat.
"Here to see Beverly?" he asks. "I was just making some lunch."
