[ He still doesn't understand it. He's seen her record. It's bad, yes, but it's not the worst he's seen. She has so much guilt that she can't even accept the good that she's done afterwards.

And it's not like Steve's hands are fully clean, either. He's killed, but he can't let that take him down. He doesn't know how to phrase this again, like how he'd said to Wanda - they need to keep fighting, and that's all they can do. They can't change the past, they can only do better in the future.

He's still trying to come up with the words when she starts talking again, and though he should see the kiss coming, it still surprises him, though he recovers a lot more easily than he had the first go-around. No need for Nat to tell him he's bad at kissing this time.

You're already doing your best, Nat. That's all I could hope for.

[ He offers her a small smile. ]

Why don't I pay for this and we... take a walk around?
