City Never Sleeps
It's been some time since the actual engagement, but Peggy's needed it to sink in.
Perhaps it's because it's not her first time being engaged that she's so hesitant to begin plans. The first time with Fred had been such a flood of planning and a hurricane of activity she'd hardly wanted to take place in (she'd wanted to work on the codebreaking), but this time, with Daniel, she knows it's going to be different. It's why she eventually remembers that while she doesn't have to go to the same lengths to plan, she still needs to take some steps.
The first and most important is making sure that she has the critical people at her side when she's standing there saying her vows, witnessed by the people she cares for. It's why she's sent out a few texts and is sitting at her favourite coffeeshop with a magazine filled with dresses, sipping her tea as she makes notes in the margins. While she's not expecting trouble, she still wants to be sure that if there is, she's well-equipped for it, which means any dress she buys is going to be one that at least allows for a thigh holster.
After all, you can't be underprepared for one of the most important days of your life, now can you?

Maybe one day.
"You're both very lucky," she says and means it. "I'm so happy for the both of you. I really am."

"I can only hope that I won't drive you completely mad over the next few months. I promise to try and keep texting to a minimum."
