"A little easier than I did in 2016." There, the question of settling in is an easier one to answer. A lifetime of regrets as the years passed him by, when Peggy moved on without him; and he realizes that she hasn't, not here, and the selfish part of him is all the more pleased for it.

This cannot last -- it's a dream that will disappear when they return home, back to their time; and Steve knows of the people he has to save and protect, the ones who are depending on him. They walk together like they've done this a hundred thousand times before, and he finds himself mulling over her initial words, the blame she carries, still, and he pauses.
