Steve found himself giving a lopsided smile. He did like her optimism, at least. "Yeah. Guess we are."
She was pretty, too, he found himself noticing. And then felt his face heat up as he realized just what he was thinking. That wasn't - just because most soulmates ended up romantic partners, usually even married, didn't mean that's what she'd want from him. It never even crossed his mind that gals would be interested in him, despite what Bucky always insisted. But he'd be happy to have another close friend, someone around to talk to.
Glancing at his watch again, Steve grimaced. "I...gotta get going," he said reluctantly, feeling like the world's biggest cad. Who met their soulmate, and then immediately ran out on them? Apparently, he did. "Are you-- how-- how late are you working? I could walk you home, maybe?"
