Aww, this was lovely. I really like that Peggy could really sense the differences in him and I could definitely picture him telling her everything immediately as well as taking the blame for his actions.

The grief, the pain they had both endured was not gone - but it was shared, carried together, and made easier by love.
That made me smile, especially the way it was worded. No, all their problems are not gone but at least they're not alone. :D

Wonderful job! Thank you for picking and filling my prompt!
