He seemed receptive to her touch so Natasha shifted closer and rested her head on his shoulder while continuing to brush her fingers lightly over his face. She didn’t comment on his joke, knowing he would get more serious in a moment. Her statement had been an honest one and she knew he would reply in kind soon enough.
He made it sound so simple, but could walking away from such a secretive organization be that easy? Maybe it could. Of course it didn’t help that director had a soft spot for them.

He was a leader, though, and had to do what was right for the organization. It would be an interesting discussion for sure.
“Okay,” she agreed simply, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath to let out slowly.
