She couldn’t help but smile when Steve said that Bruce had something to come back for and fight for control for. Sure, he had the team here, but he also had her, and, while neither of them had really talked about the relationship with anyone else (they were both kind of private people), it made her happy that everyone seemed to realize how quickly they had grown to care for one another. She only hoped that he would be back soon.
Mentally, she was a little worn down at the moment. If things were normal, she might be a little irritated at all the concern, but now she knew that she needed it. It really helped her that there were others here that seemed intent upon checking up on her and making sure that she wasn’t becoming a hermit. She didn’t want to become a hermit, but it was really easy to just sit back and stay in the trailer, only going out when she needed something. She needed to avoid that.
