"Danny's good now, Cath." Steve gave her a dubious look, like having to repeat it was the strange part.
Somewhere along the line that it was unlikely her words could make him doubt that judgement of Danny of all people. Even if he did trust her judgement, and he'd had more than enough help in his time to have a deep respect and appreciation for her skills.
But she'd pointed out several time, she didn't know Danny. And Steve did. Know Danny. Better than most anyone else.
The last time, Steve could admit, then and now, he could see how it could have been read differently. The couch and them laugh. His own history. But they'd covered it, and he'd clarified for Danny that he'd told Cath. At least that there was someone else, before he'd announced for her who that was. Sure, it was awkward but it was over.
