[ -- she must be better. slyer. more cunning in the ways she brushes panic aside. because peggy carter doesn't know how to tell a man he's dead, doubly so when he's still so far from that death. she allows him the brief power of leading her back inside the emptied lab, and scrapes her teeth against the inside of her bottom lip.
she remembers kissing him, once. before he leapt from their jeep and went to die. only he can't remember what hasn't yet happened. what a headache-- ]
Nothing. Nothing much. [ she collects her words into a brief and tightly bound bundle. peggy won't tell him an absolute lie, but she won't tell him the absolute truth either. ] Only that to my memory it's been quite some time since you...deserved it, so to speak.
[ she grows in confidence as a plan is formed. she'll tell him she knows a time beyond his, but will be conservative in her claim. perhaps no further than the action that had spurred on that kiss she can't forget. ]
