Leaning against him as she eats, she tips her head up and smiles with a small sigh. "I never stopped loving you either. I know that I dated a few people off and on along with work and things, but they were never you and in the end the other people fell in love with people who weren't me. I wasn't meant to be with them." Setting down her slice in the box, she turns to face Clint completely.

"You were the first man I really and truly fell in love with, and even though I've had my mind wiped several times, I keep coming back and you always return, our memories always come back and what's in my heart never goes away. I feel safer with you than with anyone else. You've always been on my side, and now is the time because I ..." She pauses and looks down, licking over her lip, trying not to feel all the things she has running through her mind, because it's a lot.

".. because I realized that I'm allowed to love, to really love and be loved. I am allowed this. I am allowed to be happy, and when you said you actually wanted to settle with me Clint, that you still wanted this, how could I ever say no? You're it for me. You always have been. I've screwed it up enough, and I'm not going to again. Can you forgive me?" She blows out her fear, because in her opinion, there's no one better for her than Clint. She doesn't actually have Matt, and even if she did, he's never been a better choice, and neither was James. Clint was the first, and largest love in her heart.
