That bad, huh? Steve texts back. He's not trying to dawdle or avoid his wife, but it is kind of nice to get out of the house for a little while, and not on a mission.
He's not fooling himself. He only sort of understands where Loki's coming from. As much as he cares, as much as he's falling in love here, he can't know what it's like to have children and lose them. He's never experienced it. Hopefully, he never will. Ten minutes. Just stay out of range of her throwing arm.
True to his word, he arrives before the ten minutes is up, a feat which probably involved some traffic violations (but who would ever give a traffic ticket to Captain America?). He comes inside a little warily, half afraid he'll find someone unconscious on the floor, but when he sees Loki he can't help but smile like a sap.

"Hey," he greets. "Rough evening?"
