Who: Peggy and Bucky (open to Steve later) Where: The kitchen What: Talking When: Saturday afternoon Rating: Low Open: Not really Status: Ongoing
It had taken Peggy a lot of soul searching after Bucky's revelation. She didn't want to jump into a big decision but instead take time apart, figure out how she felt and what she wanted to happen. If she were being honest with herself, she was scared about her future both with and without him and had wondered a long time about what she wanted her relationship with him to be. She wasn't a coward and never backed down from a bad situation or a tough decision and never had done. She had fought tooth and claw to get her position in the army and won it fair. This was worse to her than war was.
The kids were all packed and sent off with Steve, leaving Peggy to fuss about the kitchen tidying while she waited for Bucky to come back. Her rings felt heavier on her finger than they ever had before.
