She was quiet for a moment after he finished, thinking over everything he'd said, before she gave him a soft smile and a light squeeze on his arm. "Not everyone has to be a smooth talker, Steve," she told him gently. "Sometimes the fellas who do all the talking are the ones who never spare a second to hear what anyone else is saying." That smile broadened as she added, "And I would love to meet Bucky. Lead the way, sugar."
