Steve doesn't expect to hear her. Of all the people it could be, of all the people that Howard Stark could find to pair him with after all this time he thinks it's cruel to find the one person that he doesn't want to pretend to be married to.
He wants to actually be married to Peggy Carter.
She deserves better than this, this mockery at playing house with him and he has to draw in several deep breaths before he can set the mask in place and play the part. Can he pretend to be a happy husband with Peggy? The trouble isn't happy. The trouble is pretending.
"In the kitchen," he calls back, voice a little shakier than he'd like.
