A place from which one's strength is drawn, where one feels at home; the place where you are your most authentic self.

I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up

Vivienne swayed in Steves's arms; the biggest grin on her face. Steve looked at the girl in his arms. She had the most contagious smile; no matter how he felt that smile always made him feel better.

"They look so cute together." Nat smiled at the couple in the middle of the dance floor.

"Steve deserves the happiness. All his known his entire life has been war. Now it's time for him to know love, " Bucky mused with a grin on his face.

Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest

Steve gazed into Vivienne's eyes as he sang the lyrics to her. Her heart felt so full of love that she thought it would burst open.

I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

Vivienne held on to her super soldier a little tighter. Steve had come so far since the day she met him. Their journey had not been easy but they made it. Through the pain and the heartache and overcoming the past, they had finally made it.

I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

This time it was Vivienne who sang and Steve almost stopped moving when he heard her. He always loved when she sang. She truly had a voice of an angel.

When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that every day you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow

Vivienne placed her head on Steve's chest. The sound of his heartbeat always calmed her down. Steve picked her up into his arms and held her tightly against him.
