-I close my eyes
And the flashback starts-

(Love Story, Taylor Swift)

Steve's POV

Some weeks passed since that day at the park and I haven't seen Nat either talked to her.

She said I had to wait her to contact me because she had some secret things to do and I was sure they were related to the man that brought her away from me.

But I didn't want to make things worse so I did my best to stay at home without doing anything.

Well, not exactly... Emily started school again so we had to move back to the city and to our home.

It was when I was going back from Emily's school that I saw her.

I was taking my daughter's schoolbag from the car and I saw Nat stading in the opposite part of the road.

-Nat...- I whispered looking at her.
She smiled a little and she was about to move when suddenly stopped.
I looked behind me and saw Emily at the door.

-Dad! Come on there are cartoons on TV! And I want a snack, I'm hungry!- she yelled from the house.

I couldn't know what was going on in her mind but she was probably guessing if Emily was her daughter.

-Go inside honey, dad is coming- I said and she nodded running away.

When Emily left I saw Nat relaxing a little but she was still looking at the door.

-She won't come back, don't worry- I said smiling.

She smiled too and approached slowly.

-Is she...?- she asked.

-Yes. She is Emily, our daugther- I said.
-She is beautiful...-.

-Like her mother- I said and Nat blushed.

-I'll be in New York next week for 'work', can we meet?- she said giving me a piece of paper: on it there was an address.

I nodded and she left.
I came back home and found Emily in the kitchen trying to take some cereals.

I smiled and took them for her.

-You couldn't wait eh?- I said.
-I am hungry!- she said -Who was that woman?-.

-A friend- I said prepearing a bowl with milk and cereals for her.

-Oh. Is she coming back here?- she asked.

-Maybe, I don't know- I said smiling -Now let's go watching your cartoons!-.

We spent all afternoon watching Emily's favourite cartoons but my mind was focused on Nat: what was she doing?

Nat's POV

A week later I landed in New York; I was there for work, I had to kill a man. But I also knew that Steve lived there so I asked him to meet so he could keep telling me about my past.

When I saw him that day, with that girl, something moved in me and some flashbacks appeared in my mind.

-She is beautiful- I said looking at a baby girl sleeping in her bed.

Steve put his hands on my shoulders and smiled.

-Like her mother- he said.

I turned to him and he kissed me.

-I love you- he said.

-I love you too- I said kissing him again.

Noises coming from the door brought me back to reality.

I opened it and found a man who had my same age, tall, blonde hair: Tom.

Tom was my partner at work but this was a mission where I was alone so I couldn't understand why he was there.

-What are you doing here?- I asked.

-The boss sent me. He wants to be sure that everything is ok, this mission is important- he said.

-Everything is ok, you can go- I said.
He smiled.

-Well call me if you need help, I'll be in the city- he said and left.

Ugh having him around made meeting Steve more difficult. If he would have seen something...

I was going to call him and telling him to not come but then his daughter's face appeared again in my mind and it made me change my mind.

If she really was my daughter I wanted to know her.

I went to the window and looked outside: was my boss suspecting something? Maybe, but he trusted me a lot, he would have never sent Tom to check if I was working right?
