[Bucky's end is quiet, but just for a few moments. He can imagine how much it took to type that out, to decide to tell him that. And he can't say how much it means, that she was willing to let him see it.]
I feel like I thought I knew how to talk to him, and that was my first mistake. I always stepped right in it, every time I opened my mouth around him. But that's because he was absolutely not what I expected, and he deserved to be whatever, whoever, he wanted to be after what happened to him. So do you. And if you were able to understand each other, then I think that was a blessing, for both of you.
I'll do my best to live up to that - not because I want to be the same person, but because all the good things about him, I want those to be good things about me, too.
