She has these big blue eyes. They are just as vibrant as they were in his dream. It also feels like she's boring right down into his core. His glance ticks away from her face and to the box he's now holding in both hands.
"I appreciate the concern but I'm doing just fine." It's a pitiful lie. Murphy knows this but what else is he going to say? The last thing he wants to tell her is that he's been scared to sleep. Scared he'll wake up to Bucky looming over him to finish the job.
But Jack said it wasn't Bucky, it was some kind of mental programming. Something that Murphy still has yet to wrap around his head. He and Jack haven't really spoken since that text exchange. Not only that, things between Raven and him aren't great either.
Murphy is falling apart.
"I'll let you know how the cookies are." Murphy tries to smile again, it's small and strained. "Don't want to make you late for the party."
