@SHIELDMerc She sighed, he was always so worried about what people thought about his past, brushing his hair back, she smiled and nodded. “You’re not that - you never were and if they can’t understand it’s their problem.��
@SHIELDMerc “Absolutely not.”
She smiled at him, “I know how to share all this . . . “
She gestured up and down his body with a hand to indicate what she meant.
“Maybe I like the idea of telling people I’m married to a model.”
@SHIELDMerc “And you’d probably like that better than me being out on missions . . .”
She smiled when he kissed her, leaning into his touch.
“You know we aren’t lacking for money, right?”
@SHIELDMerc Maria laughed, “that was the idea you know.”
