Marie wanted to argue, put up a fight for what she saw as the correct path, but even if she didn't understand everything about these two, she couldn't misinterpret that look from Bucky. Steve was stubborn, she'd picked up on that much so far, and it would be better for everyone involved if she followed Bucky's lead in this. So as much as she wanted to let her southern temper simmer in frustration, she tamped it down and just gave Bucky a nod of confirmation.
It was so strange and almost surreal in some moments to see the two of them interact. They were so close, closer than she'd seen from most people, and she-- Was she really going to fit into their little world? She hoped so. More than anything, she wanted this arrangement to work. She'd made a promise to look after them and she fully intended to keep it if they would let her.
That hand in invitation meant the world to her and she went without hesitation, placing her hand in Bucky's long enough to feel that warmth and rightness of touching him, followed by moving closer to Steve, even leaning in to press a kiss to his cheek. "Thank you for worrying about me, sugar," she told him softly, grateful that there was anyone to bother with it these days.
