Early that morning
Hetty woke up before everyone else did. She got her tea, put on her pink cardigan, And went to the computer.
'Beep Beep!'
'Who would be calling this early?' She thought.
She answered the video call.
'Glad to see you still wake up at the crack of dawn, Henrietta.' Granger said.
'Chuckle. What time is it even there right now, Owen? And, what's with the call?' Hetty asked, smiling.
'Nothing important, just wanted to talk to you.'
'So, this is a private conversation then? Very intriguing.' Hetty said.
'What can I say? I got a little worried, and I know no one comes to work this early, or late.'
'Might I say, this kind of feels, romantic?'
'Smirk, Maybe you're right, maybe you're not. Might I also say, that you look really good wearing that sweater? It's not often I get to see you in anything, casual.' Granger said.
'Oh! Well (blushing), Thank you! I didn't feel like a suit was needed right now.' Hetty responded.
'Now that's a surprise.'
'Don't get offended by this, but. Are you, flirting with me?' Hetty asked, with a mischivous grin.
'What? What makes you say that?!' Granger asked, looking surprised.
'Just wondering. And, the agents are going to wake up soon, so. I think we should wrap this up before someone wakes up and starts asking questions.'
'Yeah, yeah. It'd be good to wrap this up now. Talk to you later?'
'Yes. Hopefully after the case ends. See you later!'
The next day
Granger's phone rang.
'Hello?'
'Just wanted to let you know that Arkady will live, and we're heading home tonight.' Hetty said.
'That's great. And Hetty…'
'Yes?'
'I was flirting with you yesterday.'
Hetty looked very surprised after hearing that. Her work partner, was flirting with her?!
'Oh.'
