She doesn't know if it would ever have worked between them had events not happened the way they did. If HYDRA was discovered before it had been, she'd have never been shot and Ward would have never realized his love for her. Despite the damage to that love, it was sacred and not something to be messed with.

It would be on a mission three years after his escape that they'd find him in the most surprising way. They'd find not a specialist but instead a man who was redeeming his life by helping those who needed help.

When you come from hell, it's hard to believe you deserve anything better. And when you've carried secrets alone for so long, it's damn near impossible to believe that there's anyone out there who could share your burden. The team's journey, from Ward's perspective. I believe in Grant Ward, and I believe there is hope at the end of the story.
