Snippet:
It didn’t take Natasha long to find him. She’d expected more resistance but she asked for his room and the smiling woman at the desk had given her directions. The person standing in the doorway kept her from rushing headlong into the room but that was probably a good thing. As she took a deep, calming breath, she could hear the timbre of his laugh. This was the right room. He wasn’t dying. Still, she can’t make herself turn around and head back to her bed.

“How about we... oh, hi.” The guy in the doorway turned as he felt her presence behind him. She knew they must all know who she was but she couldn’t place any of the men who were suddenly staring at her.

“Is he okay?” she asked, her body ready to bolt back down the hallway at the first sign that she didn’t belong. “You never really said.”

“He’s fine. Just on intravenous fluids for the night. I’m Kris.”

Natasha took his outstretched hand out of respect for the man as Clint’s friend and teammate. “Natasha.” As quickly as she’d taken the hand, she let it drop and began to back away. It was stupid that she was even still here. “I’ll leave you to the rest of your celebrating.”
