[ She smiles at that, somewhat embarrassed or sheepish but touched as well. Not a single word of it is false and she's hardly upset for having been read so easily — even during the war, it was obvious. They did try to remain professional, but the heart wants what the heart wants, as it were. ]

You're not wrong, [ she says at length, cheeks a little warm. She laughs. ] Our reunion certainly wasn't some sweeping romantic overture. [ It was all too overwhelming: the station, the space travel, the fact that they were seeing one another, the fact that — ] It's been years since we last saw one another. Actually, I thought Steve had died in the war, so you can imagine what it meant to find him here. Of course I didn't know what to do.

But we're making the most of the time we have, now. [ Her lips quirk. ] Including getting a photo taken together.

[There's another nod from Claire, one of understanding. She thought Jamie was dead for so long. Finding out he was alive had been exhilarating--and terrifying.]

I lost two decades with the man I love. And... God knows how long until I have him back again here. [Stasis doesn't count as being together. She can talk at him, but she doubts he can hear her, just like those little birds in Boston never heard her from the other side of the glass window.]

There are so many ways to capture memory here. I think we need to take advantage of this crazy world's technology where we can.

[ She's only lost two years. Steve lost over seventy, even if he spent that time asleep. What a set of friends they make. ]

It really is quite remarkable, once the surprise wears off. Which might not be for some time, all told. [ Peggy's lips quirk. ] How is it, as a doctor?

[Between the three of them there's a good century of lost time. Impressive, and sad.]

The technology, or generally speaking? [She laughs a little.] Even in the 60s, the technology was no match for some of what we've seen there.

Yes, but I imagine that's no bad thing. You're still teaching those classes, aren't you?

[ Which she really ought to pop in on. She did promise. ]

God forbid you have to deal with something worse than the epidemic, but if you did, I'm sure having certain tools at your disposal doesn't hurt.
