It's going to be very sad when he gets his ship working and leaves the Nexus. Or gets himself killed. Or Natasha gets called away for duty. Or...so many reasons for attachment of any kind to be a bad idea. Natasha knows herself. Knows she made a mistake, letting Bruce get that close. Like she had with Barton, before Laura happened. And she knows what's waiting for Han out there, if he had the freedom to go and get it.
So she sways with Han Solo on the dance floor and tells herself it's just a bit of fun in the moment, and it means nothing to her. Even if she knows it's probably a lie. She's very good at lying though. Maybe in time, she'll believe it. For tonight, she's going to enjoy herself.
"It was when I was a child. I don't have many fond memories of that time." As to why she hadn't brought it up before.
