[ It's funny how when he first met Diana and the days in which they fought together, she filled him with such hope, yet now it's as though the tables have turned and Steve is the one less cynical than she is.

Okay. [ He succumbs, seeing her point. He is never too stubborn to admit when he could be wrong about something. A century is bound to change anyone and it would be naive to think she was the same woman she was a hundred years ago. Too many things would have happened to have not changed her in some way and he has so much to catch up, some of which she might not feel comfortable to talk about. But his feelings for her run far too deeply for him to simply walk away from what they had - have. He's pretty sure his friends would never allow it. They've seen how much Diana makes him happy; they've seen how much being without her makes him feel absolutely miserable as well... ]
Okay, then... will you let me get to know you again?
[ It's very Steve to ask her that, so considerate of her feelings. For all he knew, maybe she didn't want to go back down this road with him again and finally move on. Maybe this was her moment of closure, to finally let him go... ]
