Why'd he suggest it? When – run – wasn't even really a viable option. Not really. Not if the worst happens. Not if he loses control somehow. He's already seen her expression change, watched pity and anger on his behalf consume her as he revealed how he came by his abilities. How he was turned from who he was, who he remembered himself to be, into the weapon.
She said she'd leave. That's why. Is that why?
He hardly tastes the tang of the mustard on the pretzel as he chews, his attention sliding from the empty snack to the blue and white striped bag that swings a little in her grip as she walks.

That deep scowl has lessened a little but Bucky remains a little distant, a little preoccupied, as the pair of you explore the areas nearby the amusement park that are linked by the boardwalk. He's likely thinking of the promise he made to train you and how he's going to go about it. Disarming him. The need for it. The fact that he's worried that something could happen to make the training necessary is definitely something to discuss. Later. As tempting as it is to point out it might not matter, that it all depends on how long you stay at his apartment – stay in New York – you leave those things unspoken.
You end up with a little striped bag of items, mostly postcards gathered to start sending to your family. Bucky surprises you, picking a few out to purchase as well.

Perhaps you, once TPTB reversed course on their promise to delay and reconsider The Patch Act. Postcards to serve as a reminder of the time spent wandering the city with him. There's also the possibility that they were meant as the opening of communication with Becca. So many options. So many questions that you're weighing asking.
