Peggy still isn't sure who at the SSR she should simultaneously punch and thank for this assignment, but right now, all that she wants to do is focus on the man in front of her and not the mission. She reaches out past the covers to take Steve's hand with both of hers, making sure that she has his gaze when she locks eyes with him. "I know, Steve," she promises, because she's all too used to having to put her personal life second to place duty first.
Right now, in the shadows of the evening and no one here with them, there is no emergency and she even thinks that she can put aside duty while their mark sleeps the night away. "You mean every bit as much to me as you did during the war," she says, "and I," she exhales, and breathes the words that she's thought since the day his plane went down, "I love you, Steve, with all my heart. I didn't think we were going to ever have a future and now I learn that it's been shortened by duty."
"I know we're going to do this mission well," she vows, determined, "but if you think I'm going to let these days pass without getting all that I can of you before they dispatch you again to wherever they may, then you're as stupid as you are broad," she informs him. "And look how wide that serum has made your shoulders."
