“Why should I bother to put the effort in when I know you’ll do it for me?” she replied, squeezing his hand. “But you do have a point. I guess I will have to keep you.”
Like she would ever even consider anyone else. It had been hard enough letting Clint in, and he had been very persistent about tearing down her walls, making her realise she didn’t have to keep everyone at arm’s length. It was a little easier now letting down her guard around others, being friendly and joking, but she never let anyone else truly see the real her. Nobody else would have fought for her, nobody else would have put up with her for so long, but it wasn’t a case of staying with Clint because there was no one else; it was because she didn’t want anyone else. He had said that the were made for each other, and she liked to believe that that was true.
“Hey,” she scolded. Bringing his hand up to her mouth she gave his knuckle a nip in the same manner. “Behave.” Back to the same playful admonishment as before.
