When Steve sits at the bar, the first thing he gets is a cupcake with red, white and blue frosting and Happy 95th Birthday!.

"Yeah, yeah," he says in a good-natured tone, because even he has given up trying to keep track of how old he is. Twenty-eight, ninety-five, two? Ninety-five is probably the most accurate.

Took me to Paris while I was still fighting the war in my time, so it was good to see that it survived. He's... he's pretty good to me."

"That is wonderful, love is grand. It's really one of the things that make living worth while. You are both very lucky." she wasn't asking for any secrets. She is just enjoying how happy he is.
