When Loki was taken by the TVA, he is forced to watch a montage of what could've been his future. In that montage, he finds out that he will fall in love with a young Midgardian woman, who he would've met a year after the Battle of New York.

"Sir, you have a visitor."
It was around one in the morning when FRIDAY interrupts Loki's studies. He has been practicing magic to improve himself. It was nice that Thor brought his books before they both left Asgard. Loki never would've found a way to keep practicing.
"Who is it?"
"It's Miss Anastasia, Sir." FRIDAY tells him, and Loki's heart leaps from his chest. "She's been standing in front of your door for the last five minutes."
Loki stands from his chair, almost stumbling over his step as he makes his way across his wide floor. "Why didn't you inform me five minutes ago?"
FRIDAY chuckles. "Sorry, Sir. I was hoping that she would knock on your door first."
Loki is amused, but he tries to scold FRIDAY as much as he can. "Inform me next time this happens, Miss FRIDAY. Thank you."
"Certainly, Sir."
Loki faces the door and inhales deeply. Norns, he has never been this nervous around anyone. Not even with Lady Sif. He does his best to focus and put on a charming smile before opening the door.
Anya appears to be walking away when the door opens, and she turns to look at him with a hesitant smile.
"Anya. Hello."
"Hi, um... I was hoping you were awake, but I wasn't sure..."
"Is there something wrong? Are you all right?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. I just... I couldn't sleep." She admits. "I've been thinking about the accords all night."
"Understandable. Your team has found itself in quite the mess." Loki nods. "Well, I'm awake most nights. Sleep is a luxury for me. Not a necessity."
She smiles. "Lucky you."
Seeing her smile makes him do the same. "Would you like to come inside?"
She nods and he lets her in. Anya looks around his personal place, seeing how sophisticated it all looks. Loki definitely has taste with interior design.
"I can help you sleep, if that is what you are here for." Loki makes his way to his studies, looking through various grimoires. "It's something I've been practicing to do."
"How do you do it?"
"Depends on the mind. The ones with no resistance can be put under for more than a few hours." Loki holds up a book with symbols she cannot read. "Would you like me to help you?"
"It's okay. I'll just stay awake for a while."
"All right. But if you need help with sleeping, you know who to see." He winks.
Anya chuckles. "I'll keep that in mind."
They watch one another, unsure what to do next when Anya boldly approaches him and reaches for his broad chest. Loki sighs and places his hands on her waist.
