Natasha Romanov

The dim light illuminated the room while winter's cold froze everything outside. You are in the kitchen preparing dinner for the return of your beloved who has finally finished her service with the Spetsnaz.

While you finish the stew, you hear light knocks on the front door. You immediately know she's arrived. You know it's her the day she finally comes home.

You run from the kitchen to the living room, take a deep breath before opening the door to relax. You open it and a freezing gust of wind hits your face. And then you see her there, as beautiful as ever in her military uniform, with her suitcases and that look that captured your soul the first time you saw her.

(What are you waiting for, champ? Your wife's back! Give her a warm welcome!)
