Ivy's POV

Since the Avenger party one week went by. During that week I was able to resume my training back, and besides the hard work I put up, I had a lot of fun with it. I trained a little with James but mostly with Natasha. Although I was trying my best to reach my potential back, James seemed to be more careful with me than Nat, which made me hold back a bit. I think he was just worrying about not hurting me during our training.

Every day we were getting closer to each other which reassured me that I was falling in love with him hard. Most of our days now looked similar. James practically started living in my apartment and I didn't mind it. We're waking up at the same time. Usually, James was going to do his morning gym sessions with Steve while I did my morning walk around the compound to wake up. Then we met up in the kitchen and ate breakfast together. Then he was going to the Stark Tower, while I got my training with Natasha. While James was at work, I got back to doing my usual commissions for my business. I was spending the day driving to the arranged locations to take pictures, and then I was going back to my office to work on the material I took. By the evening James was coming back, we were going on cute dates, usually taking Betsy for a ride. I was still very hesitant about this death machine. But since it was James' baby, I've decided I must give it a chance. And it turned out not as bad as I'd imagined. Of course, I was clenching James' jacket so hard like I was gonna die any second when he was driving, but I think the fact I was literally glued to him, gave him so much pleasure seeing I can trust him. So I've decided to swallow the bitter pill for him, oh well... And after the cute dates, we're ending up in my room, falling asleep, cuddled. Perfection.

DAY ONE

Today I woke up in an empty bed. The sun was already up, enlightening my room. I searched with my hand for James' body but found nothing. His side of the bed was cold. I opened my eyes and found a piece of paper on his pillow. I rubbed my eyes from sleep and read the note.

"A week?" I said to myself. Oof, well, I guess I'll figure something out to do to keep myself entertained. But that was a hell of a time without him since I fell in love with him. I took out my phone from the drawer beside the bed and texted Natasha.

Hi, James left me a note that he went on some super secret mission with Steve.
