"Steve, it's not that simple." For a moment, Peggy is at a loss for words. She might have supported him, but Steve was the one who had given a certain set of ideals life. Even if the serum hadn't worked, she believed that he would have found a way to live to give others hope. "What I did wasn't as important enough for it to be mine as well."
Even used to having others give her appreciative looks, at using that as an advantage in her work, it's different having Steve focus on her in that way. It causes her heart to stutter almost painfully... until his expression turns to shock and Peggy has to stifle a laugh.
"A day, perhaps two. No one gave me a clear answer on how long this might last. I doubt anyone knows." Amusement quickly turns to empathy as she realizes what is commonplace for her is a trial for him. "I promise I'll help you with the heels. And the skirt."
