Natasha answered his smile with another soft kiss to his knuckles and got up reluctantly then. She thought about going back to the car to get one of her bags at least, but that would mean putting her jacket back on. And since her shoulder and her had just made a truce... Enough time to unpack tomorrow.
Instead she stopped in the bathroom shortly to wash the rest of tears and nursing off. Her own changed reflection still left her startling. She had to keep her eyes down to not constantly get reminded that this wasn't just another cover. Or not one for the job at least.
Her eyes were still red from the contacts and crying, and even after a short sponge bath she felt the stain of too much traveling on her skin. A bath would have been great now, if she didn't have to be afraid to drown. Jesus, she definitely needed sleep.
She left her shirt and jeans in the laundry basket and hurried to the bedroom only in her underwear, tying her hair up in a loose braid. The fire still wasn't enough to take care of that lingering coldness, and she was more than relieved when she finally could get under the bed covers.
"I haven't been in Russia for too long. Not used to freezing anymore", she grumbled with half a smile.
