WHAT ever
WHERE ever
WHEN Day 73 maybe? probably. that was a long blizzard tho.

[EYYYY IT FINALLY STOPPED SNOWING!!!

In fact, the roads are clear, even. Maybe the weird mechanical noises that could be heard in the wee hours of the morning were snowplows...? Sure. That seems like the reasonable explanation.

Seems like time... for a SNOWBALL FIGHT.

In fact, a snowball may be coming at you right now. Who threw that??

...did... anybody throw that?]

[he'll even help dust her off, patting her back as he does]

Let's go then.

[shoving her hand in her pocket as they start back]

So are you in a good mood, or you just always go around picking snowball fights with people?

It seemed like a good way to pass the time.

Oh, I see how it is.

I felt like you might enjoy it too.

Maybe I did.

Seemed like you did.

You think so, huh.

[he’s right]

It wasn’t bad. Brings back memories.

The more of the good ones we can bring back the better, right?

Maybe. You think it'll be enough?

[he pats against her shoulder, reassuring]

Won't know unless we keep trying.

[his optimism is comforting, even if she doesn't entirely share it]

Ever think it won't be that easy, buddy?

All the time.

But I won't let that stop me.

[no, he wouldn't. she sighs and tries to push aside her own doubt. not exactly easy, but at least she doesn't have to put it on Steve]

[just keeping a hand to her shoulder to give that touch for her to ground herself on. They're at the apartments so he pushes the button]

[waiting for the elevator, she nudges him lightly with her elbow. it's meant to be reassuring?]

Don't have to worry. I'm not going anywhere?

[he smiles a bit, nudging back]

I know.

You know, your friend laughed at me when I said I was staying with you. I told him I didn't need so much room to myself, so why get my own place.

[Thor seemed to find that funny.]

The big one.

Oh yeah, Thor. You know he grew up in a palace?

He said that. He's a king and a god and all. Not surprising. Me, I'm impressed having three bathrooms in one apartment.

I know. I can't even imagine what a place like this would run you back in Brooklyn.

They'd have had six people living in a place this size back when we were kids.

Yeah. It's downright extravagant.

So that means you won't be kicking me out any time soon?

You can stay as long as you'd like. It's good having you around.
