She was impossibly good at blending in. That's what made her good at her job. As a spy, it was important that she never be seen unless she wanted to. She was to blend into crowds, to go unnoticed. But you...You wanted to see her, so you searched for her in every crowd.
Natasha was surprised often, but it always shocked her when you would slide into the seat across from her at a restaurant or would walk up to her on the sidewalk or would call her name from across the park. She was trained to not be seen, but she wanted you to always notice her.
But, she never understood it. How you always could find her, when even the best trained criminals alive would look right past her. "How do you do it?" she asked, her head resting on your shoulder.
"Do what?"
"See me when no one else does." She looked up at you, then back down, pressing her face into the crook of your neck. "When no one else notices me, you do. Without fail, you always do."
You chuckled, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "I want to see you, so I do," you said. "I see your face in every crowd. I look out for you, and there's like a spotlight shining down on you, leading me straight to my love."
"Such a romantic," she teased. "But, really, how do you find me?"
"I just look. A lot of times, you're not there. But I'll still always look for you."
Natasha smiled to herself. "I'll look for you, too."
"Then we'll always find each other," you said. "And there is no better fate than that."
