It's awkward, and Steve doesn't know what to do about it. He doesn't know what to say, so he just does his best to pretend that everything is fine as he gets her coat and her overnight bag from the coat check and requests a car. There's one right out front, thanks to the party, so at least they don't have to stand there and wait too long.
"You're right. We never said," Steve tells her in as calm a voice as he can manage, but there's a tiny bit of an edge to it, one that gives away that he's kind of upset. "So, it's okay."
He opens the car door for her and gestures for her to get in, and then hands her the bag before sliding in next to her and confirming the address. This is not at all how he expected this night to go, and he isn't sure how it's meant to continue.
They're almost to the mountain by the time he nearly works up the courage to speak, going so far as to open his mouth, but then it shuts again and he furrows his brow, reaching out to take her hand and thread their fingers together. "But-- uh, we should probably talk, right?"
