Steve doesn't hesitate to open his arms to return that hug properly. Lorna has seen him through some rough patches with humor and genuine friendship. Selfish or not, it's wonderful to have her support back. "You look perfect." Only this version of Steve can say that in a way that is perfectly platonic. He pulls back enough to admit the truth to her as frank as he can. "I've been hanging in there. The temple is in ruins and Astoria is M.I.A. so things have been rough."
