He glanced up as the president said she needed to go, nodding confidently when Bucky spoke. "We'll be fine." He ignored those tears, not mentioning them, but the look in his eyes said he understood why they were there.
"Yes, ma'am. Like your son said - we'll be fine." He could imagine she wanted to do nothing but stay, and he couldn't blame her. But she had to go. "If you need to know anything, you will." But he planned on this being a routine afternoon, because he didn't want any more surprises for Bucky or for his mother. "He'll be here when you get back." He said that as much for Bucky as for his mother.
