-Arms Unfolding, Dodie Clark
"I like the new look."
"Doesn't seem like it."
"What?"
"You keep saying I look better now, but you act like you don't really mean it. You say it with this bitterness, this- this disdain, like you're lying straight to my face. If you hated the arm, you just had to tell me."
"That's not it. That was never it, Bucky."
"Then what the hell is it?"
"I just hate- I just hate that you did it all now. I hate that you couldn't become better until I left. I hate that in the three years we were together, you were miserable with yourself, and then as soon as I leave you get your shit together. I hate that- that I wasn't enough for you! I wasn't enough to make you happy."
"Lucy..."
"All I wanted was to make you happy."
