how could you is all he thinks but he calms when her address is given to him in an updated version of agent carter's file. he doesn't hesitate. it's an hour drive on his bike through the bustling streets of manhattan down to a quieter side of town. he picks up a bouquet he was eying for her grave and decides it will look better in her arms.
