Rogue was just as reluctant to leave Steve's side as he was. It was silly, she was completely aware of that, but it was like he had some sort of gravitational pull on her, because the idea of him walking away just seemed wrong. But she wasn't a lovesick schoolgirl, and she could handle being apart from a man she'd just met for a few minutes.

But she could let him know that she wasn't going anywhere.

Reaching over to take his hand in her own, she gave it a quick, gentle squeeze to go with the affectionate smile she wore. "I won't leave without saying goodbye," she told him, offering the assurance that she'd requested from him earlier. The contact lasted only a few seconds before she dropped his hand and hurried off to help unhook the bunting draped around the room.
