Re: Meeting the missus
Howard sank back into the chair again, more than a little stunned at the mention of Steve, and the affect he had let it have on him in his future. Especially so far into the future. As much as he wanted to deny any of it, he couldn't, given he hadn't been there.
"I see," he said, a little more quietly than before. "I guess that explains a few things," he continued, mind quickly working through the walls he'd come up against in his discussions with Jarvis. "He is smart, I've seen that," he admitted, not a small sense of pride swelling at the thought, and what he'd done for Howard with a few strokes of a pen back when he'd come to his office.
"And I hurt you?" he said to her, already knowing the answer, but wanting to hear just how much damage had been done.
