He isn't expecting Maeve to hug him like she does, arms going around his middle, and Steve holds his arms awkwardly above her and tries to remember how it's been since he showered. (Last night. Robin made him.)

Eventually he curls his arms loosely around her, brow furrowing as she apologizes. He has no idea what she's apologizing for. Is it because she doesn't want kids, or because she's about to break up with him? He doesn't know, but he feels a lump form in his throat anyway.

"It's okay," he says in a thick voice, clearing his throat a little as he squeezes her shoulder and tries very hard not to cry. "I'm sorry, too."
