It's a good few hours after their release from the lockdown. Steve has been busy dealing with several things - Hyde, to start with, but also checking in with the doctors, and with a few others. Molly, Lady Grantham and Lwaxana were a priority, since they were the more at-risk, but they weren't the only ones.

He also takes the time to grab a shower and a change of clothes.

Then he hopes she's in her quarters, and walks over to Sharon's door to knock.

The look that flashes through Steve's eyes, and the way he straightens his shoulders and tries to look like he means business, say better than a thousand words that he missed the fact that that was humor, and that Sharon's words have cut deep.

"Tell me you wouldn't prefer that."

Since he's composed himself, he sounds a lot more steady than he feels.
