    Summary

    “So,” she said, leaning forward, “what brings you to town this time?” Clint knew this trick well, but that didn’t stop him from falling for it anyway. “You disappear for months and come back in the summer. There must be something here to drag you back.”

    “Would you believe me if I said this cafe was the only constant root I have to the city?”

    Natasha studied him carefully, disbelief evident in her eyes. Clearly, that wasn’t the answer she was expecting. He’d caught her off-guard for the second time this evening.

    “I’m not sure I would.”

    ~~~

    Every year, Clint Barton returns to New York for the summer. After years of watching him come and go, Natasha starts a conversation with the one who always disappears before the leaves change colors.
