While he might have been one of the first ones to admit, then as in any other moment, that getting Gwen to smile, to laugh, to lighten up in all things not to do with her studies or rules being flouted with little excuse, Steve took that laugh as a victory all the same.

"Staying here," he said, his grin having faded into a more thoughtful expression as they continued down the hallway, "But beyond that?"
Steve shrugged his shoulders and allowed her a small smile as he asked, "Think we're too old yet for snow forts and snow wars?"
