Cap’s laughter cuts“Right, Harry You’re splendid” He shakes his head “You can’t fool me I’ve been there before, and I know you’re just a few seconds away fro naked on the couch in an attempt to fuse with the cushions”

I roll my eyes “That was you”

“Uh, yeah My heart was broken then, and yours is now” He lifts up a hand to the rest of the group and shakes his head “It’s like he’s trying to help me win the case”
