Those few nights a week that she sleep in her own apartment were some of the loneliest for her. She usually ended up calling Steve and talking to him for a while, despite the fact that they'd just seen each other only hours before, and she usually barely slept for how strange it was to be without him. Not that she ever mentioned that to Steve, of course.
She loved his apartment, because so much of it was him. It hadn't all been chosen and decorated by his own hand, but he'd settled into it enough that it felt like him, and she was more comfortable there than she was in her own apartment now. Where that tiny place above a Chinese tea shop had once been her sanctuary from the world, now it just served to remind her of what her world would ever be if he wasn't in it. But everything between them was still so new and almost fragile at times, she just couldn't bring herself to even mention it in passing. The time would come when they might consider that step, but she was determined not to be the one to bring it up, and for it to be for the right reasons, not just her own psychological issues.
"Well, now you know I'm gonna need to, Captain," she tossed back with her own mischievousness. "And I think only a private modeling session will be adequate."
