You were gone, Buck. [He says it softly. He shrugs.] I was angry, I was sad, I blamed myself. I might've had Peggy but I didn't really know her that well. I wasn't thinking. In the moment, I looked around and I didn't see any other options and I didn't look for any. I didn't need them.

[He's quiet for a long moment.]

I couldn't see what I had, not really. I see it now, but. Look, Bucky, I might be way off base here but I just don't want you making the same mistake I did.
