James picked the wallet up and opened it.

A few dollars, and some coins, a picture of a dog, and a ID.
The ID has info about Natasha's address.
James shrugged and thought giving it back was the only way to meet the gorgeous lady again.

It was a sunny day on 1940, July 10th.
Natasha heard the front bell ringing. She went out to the door and opened it.

"Hello- oh dear, JAMES?"

James raised his cap and put it down again as a gesture for hello.
Then he smiled the most beautiful smile ever.
He was wearing the same uniform as the day before. Natasha was wearing a white Sunday dress.

James handed her the wallet. "Be careful next time, clumsy."

Natasha was surprised. She snatched the wallet and unfolded it.
"T-thank you. Goodbye, James."

She slowly closed door.
But it was caught by James's hand.

"Care for a coffee?" He asked.

Natasha smiled. "Wait right here."

On 1940 July 10th, Natasha and James went for coffee and they didn't go back home for the night. They were soon dating.
The sergeant and the spy.
A couple probably no one could ever imagined.

Natasha was lost in thoughts but she quickly came back her mind.
Bucky- who once was the James she fell in love with was in front of her, walking in the snow in a yard of a laboratory.

She sighed and Bucky suddenly stopped.
He pulled Natasha in to one of the containers slid in the snowy floor.
They were so close together and Bucky was holding Natasha's waist.

It was still very dark.

Natasha could feel Bucky's left hand covering her mouth.
She soon heard footsteps near the container she was in.

"Bucky Barnes..? Where are you...?"

A loud voice of a grown man was heard...
