Steve lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding and he's just so
damned relieved to hear the words pass from her lips. He loves her,
too, and it's a precious thing that he's been holding within himself in
these years so that he can put one foot in front of the other. He loves his
country. He loves his friends. He loves her as much or almost more
than both.
His smile widens just a touch and he feels for all the world like the
skinny kid that never got a dame to look at him twice instead of the broad,
tall, perfect specimen that he is now.
"Well, I know it isn't exactly mission protocol or anything but Peggy,
please, can I kiss you?"
