She met him when she became his secretary. She never thought she'd be doing this job, but she lacked money and work. She met James Buchanan Barnes when she became his secretary. The famous Congressman, a former military man. At first, he was simple, only speaking to her about appointments or files, but that quickly changed. Meetings became dinners out, asking for a file became flowers, and he quickly declared his feelings for her. After a year of dating, marriage followed. But unfortunately, the first few years weren't as wonderful and pleasant as promised. They argued often, very often, and usually over nothing. What saved their marriage for so many years was surely their son, Steven, born during their third year of marriage. After that, the arguments continued, but were less violent. And they remained married for six years... until the threat of divorce became official, put on paper. A decision made together. After that, Bucky moved to another apartment in In New York, custody of Steven, now four years old, was shared equally, one week with Bucky including weekends, the other week with his mother. She found another job as a secretary for a political representative and they remained on good terms for their son's sake.
