Summary
It's mostly quiet during the drive. The first few minutes are eaten by stilted small talk that ignores the giant elephant in the room before they both let the conversation drop. Twenty minutes in, Darcy turns on the radio because she can't take the silence anymore, but apparently the only thing broadcasting in this small patch of the outback is either country music or Christian rock interspersed with the most obnoxious sounding man reciting quotes from the the bible, neither of which Darcy is interested in or capable of handling, so she switches the radio off after five minutes and learns to enjoy the silence.
"You don't have to," Steve says about the time they hit a gravel road, which lets Darcy know they’re almost there. He lets the car roll slowly as if he’s expecting her to change her mind, to ask him to stop, to turn around. "Seriously. I can drive you back, you don't have to do this. Bucky said only if you're ready, if you want to. He doesn't expect that you'll come anyway, so don't..." he pauses for a moment, "don't do this unless you're ready. You're allowed to not be ready, okay?"
