05:30 PM, Brooklyn

As a part-time worker, you should never expect that you can leave work normally, and Caroline knows this, so she reserves enough time for herself to clean up.But when she returned to Steve's apartment, there was already a person standing at the door—Steve in a shirt and jacket.It can be seen that he has dressed up specially, and his hair has obviously been carefully taken care of.

Caroline couldn't help but smiled, she seemed to have missed Steve's urgency, "I remember we made an appointment at six o'clock."

Caroline put her hands carrying the bag behind her body, and asked with a sweet smile, "And why don't you go in and wait? This is your house."

Steve, who left an hour early because of a stressful day with a date, obviously anticipated this question.He's even a little happy because he asked Bucky and got the "right answer".

"But I can't wait to see you. Today's Caroline is still eye-catching and beautiful."

Caroline smiled, this answer was indeed a bit beyond her expectations, not quite Steve.

"Come in, I'll change. Wait for me on the sofa, I promise I'll be fine soon."

Steve nodded quickly, his face was still flushed, he was stunned when he saw Caroline's smile just now.Only then did I realize that I had been staring at her just now, feeling a little embarrassed.

He didn't walk around, but sat on the sofa obediently, with his hands crossed on his knees.Steve looked around, Caroline had very few things, and she hadn't changed anything in the house.

You can only find traces of her life in the kitchen and the door. The kitchen is much tidier than when Steve lived alone, and there are a few pairs of her shoes at the door.The shoes are very new, and it can be seen that they are newly purchased by her.Steve thought to himself that Caroline must have spent a lot of money in the past few days to live alone in the alley with nothing on her body.

In fact, Steve was not in a hurry for medical expenses and rent, and he didn't even insist on asking Caroline to pay them back.But Caroline obviously kept it in mind, and this is also the connection between them.

Speaking of this, Steve thought of Caroline's necklace, and he touched his right pocket.When he went out, he hesitated and put on the necklace. Bucky said that if he didn't return it today, he would have an excuse to ask Rowling to go out.

But Steve felt that this was not good. The necklace must be very important to Caroline, so she would wear it with her.Maybe she has been insisting on repaying the money in order to "redeem" the necklace earlier.

While he was thinking wildly, Caroline had already changed her clothes and came out. The yellow dress was not very bright yellow but it was enough to attract attention.She didn't wear makeup, and there were too few lipstick colors in this era.Fortunately, Caroline's lip color was pretty, and it didn't look pale naturally.

"Before I leave, this is for you, thank you, Steve."

Caroline handed Steve an envelope, and it was self-evident what was inside.

"You have thanked me countless times, Caroline. I really didn't save you out of your gratitude."

"Of course, I know you'll help whoever is lying there. I'm just glad I met you, you saved me."

She noticed that Steve didn't want to accept the envelope, so Caroline walked up a few steps and stuffed it directly into his pocket.

"Just pretend I bought dinner and a movie tonight, but the man will pay for it, so you take it."

Steve had to stick his right hand out of his pocket to put the envelope away, and said helplessly, "But I agreed to treat you to dinner and a movie."

"Maybe you can invite me next time, don't you want to?" Caroline winked at Steve slyly.

"Of course not." Steve quickly denied it, and took advantage of the opportunity to set up the next date, "That's it."

Then keep the necklace in his pocket for the time being, and return it to Caroline when we meet next time.

"It's almost six o'clock, we have to hurry up and go to the restaurant."

If time is too late, they will rush to finish dinner.

Caroline was quite looking forward to the 1943 movie, even looking at the beauties of Hollywood in this era was enough for her to savor it.

"I haven't asked you the name of the movie yet, can you introduce me, Steve."

In order to prevent a cold scene between them, Caroline deliberately mentioned the next movie.She is completely clueless about what movies have been released recently.

"I heard that the movie is based on a famous book named Lassie the Spirit Dog, about a dog. Its owner sold it out of necessity, but no matter how far away it is, it will always come back." Steve My husband was a bit nervous about having dinner face to face with a girl, but he relaxed as the film was slowly introduced.

Caroline nodded while listening, it sounds like this is a touching story.It is also interspersed with the various adventures of the dog to find the former owner's house. Although sometimes the plot of the movie can be easily guessed, the important thing is what the movie conveys to the audience.

"Do you like pets?" Steve asked a little apprehensively. He chose this movie to be about pets and their owners, compared to those war satires or the sweet love between the hero and heroine.

Steve felt that the interests of this movie were very special, and girls probably couldn't resist stuffed animals.

"Of course, I also raised a dog." It was when she was in the Kingsman test. Although the choice was very small, she still liked the dog.After all, for her, Ruili was not only a pet, but also a companion who accompanied her through those days, a companion who trained together without any competition.

Steve wisely didn't ask what happened afterwards. After all, Caroline came here alone, so it can be seen that the ending is not so happy, and it may even bring back her sadness.

The plot of the movie is as expected by Caroline, and the relationship between the dog and the little master is really deep and touching.Just around their seats, Caroline could hear the sound of girls sniffing their noses, and the entire cinema was filled with sobs.

When Crowline, who was moved by the plot but did not shed tears at all, was considering whether to follow the crowd, Steve in the next seat kindly handed over a handkerchief.The pitch-black movie theater prevented him from seeing Caroline's expression, but he could hear the sound all around him.

When Caroline took the handkerchief, Steve patted Caroline's hand lightly to comfort her: "The movie is just a movie, don't be too sad."

He obviously did it subconsciously, not realizing it was an intimate gesture.Caroline did not hide, but turned her head to stare at Steve through the slightly dark light on the movie screen.

He is really a gentle person, but he may treat everyone the same.He would not hesitate to help and comfort all the weak in need, but Kroline wasn't sure if she was the special one.Maybe she is special now, many girls have rejected Steve for various reasons.

But not in the future, he will become an idol.He didn't even have to wait for a long time before a very good woman would appear beside him.Peggy Carter, an agent also from the UK, is not only his first love but also his comrade-in-arms.

It shouldn't be her, whose identity is unknown, who can be by Steve's side, not to mention that she may disappear in this era at any time.Like she suddenly went from 2017 to 1943, Crowline couldn't control it all.She's not even sure it's all happening for real now?It is also possible that she was overwhelmed and had a dream.

"She's so cute." A voice behind Caroline interrupted her diverging thoughts.

The one who was praised was the little girl in the movie. This little girl who is only 11 years old and everyone praises her for being cute is Elizabeth Taylor, who later left a strong mark in the history of movies.The famous movie star of the future Hollywood golden age is still a child in this film.

Time is a wonderful thing.

In the following time, Caroline didn't continue to think about the problems that she couldn't find a solution to. This extremely retro movie and screening method was enough for her to appreciate it for a while.

It was already 08:30 when the movie ended, and the night in New York came.There was still a temperature difference between day and night in New York in October, and the overcoat that Crowline had casually put on her hand before was also put on.It's fine to just walk back to the apartment without a portable vehicle.

Caroline didn't bother to find a topic anymore, and there was a sudden silence between her and Steve.The two walked quietly like this for a while, except for the voices of passers-by, they could only hear the sound of Crowline's high-heeled shoes walking on the ground step by step, which was very rhythmic.

"Is it too far, do you feel tired?" Steve tilted his head and asked her, he had never paid attention to the girl's shoes before.In the quiet environment just now, he could hear so clearly.

"Don't worry, I'm used to it." It is said that high heels are also a woman's weapon. She can even fight in high heels, let alone walk a distance.

Steve nods, and starts looking straight ahead again.He actually wanted to ask how the date was today, wondering if Caroline felt very happy, or if she felt bored and would rather rest at home.

What he wanted to say was expressed on his face, and after thinking about it, Crowline knew what Steve wanted to ask.But after thinking about it, she still didn't take the initiative to talk about today's date. After all, the problem she had considered before did exist.

Maybe Steve has a vague affection for her now, but this is not the right time.So it's good for them not to mention it, not to mention whether Crowline can stay here, but to talk about the battle that made Steve sleep for decades.Caroline does not know where he is buried, nor when.

If she will stay here forever, it means that she may not see this man in the next few decades, and maybe she will not live to see him again.It's a sad thing, and Crowline isn't one to wallow in grief, so let them stop there.
