Chapter Two; Return of the 107th - Steve

I had been talking to Bucky when I'd seen Peg walk in. She was wearing a red dress and looked absolutely stunning.

I was sat with her at a table for now, with lowly lit lighting, a mixture of talking, laughter and soft jazz filled the air as I looked across the table at her as she downed a shot of whisky.
"What are you looking at?" She sounded indignant but I saw a smirk cross her face, "Sorry" I laughed as I shook my head, "would you like to dance?" I asked her. "I wouldn't mind - however I think I would rather have another whisky" she replied. "Of course" I agreed as I got up to get her another drink, I came back and sat down as I passed her the whiskey.

She raised and eyebrow and nodded towards the dance floor, "our friends seemed to be getting along" she commented. I turned to look over my shoulder to see Bucky dancing with a redhead. "Is she your friend?" I asked and Peg nodded. "Yes, her name's Charlotte. She's a nice girl, feisty one though.I've been helping mentor her, she's my roommate too. She's had a rough time; worked in offices in the London SSR, had a whirlwind romance, moved to New York. Then her fiancé took a promotion and got killed in action just before their wedding day.

Poor thing was struggling for quite a while before she got asked back to the SSR as an agent, she's just finished the mandatory training period for going out in the field." Peggy explained.

"She's had a tough time then huh?" I remarked and Peg nodded.
"Has she been in a relationship since the incident?" I asked as I glanced over at Bucky and her.
"Not that I know of, she's only just come to terms with what happened. Perhaps this will be a turning point though-" Peggy said as she watched our two friends dance together.
