Steve snorted at that and ducked his head, giving it a little shake before lifting his mug for another sip of the hot cocoa. It was just like old times, only he was much bigger now, and the world had changed beyond measure. But God, was he glad his mother was around. What would he do without her? How would he survive this world?
He glanced sideways at her, a small frown playing on his lips at her answer to his query. “Well, I-” He hummed quietly and took another sip. “That’s the thing, isn’t it? The only people who know what it was like for us… well, we can’t marry them, can we?” His thoughts drifted to Peggy and his heart ached. “And we can’t just- find someone else, someone young. They don’t understand. They couldn’t.” So they were doomed to be alone. And even though they had one another, it was still a lonely life to lead.
Sarah sighed softly before shaking her head. “I honestly don’t think so. It’s finding someone that’s open minded enough to understand. That can be hard, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.” She gently patted his leg, smiling at him. “You will find someone, Stevie. And somehow I’ll find someone too. Because I honestly can’t do worse than your father, so that’s a plus.”
