Note: As you can probably guess, this is the 'turning point' chapter. Enjoy!


Hetty's office, on the couch

Smiling, 'You did a good thing today, Owen.' Hetty said

'Saved your team from being blown up? It was nothing.' Granger responded.

'Well, it matters to me. I love how far you've come over the past 4 years here!'

'Yeah. Can we talk about something?'

'Sure.'

'Why did you assume that I have feelings for you and kiss me?'

Silence.

Looking uncomfortable, 'Oh. Uh. That's difficult to explain.' Hetty said.

'How did you guess that I might have feelings for me?'

'Well, the offerings to take me out to places was a good hint, and the fact that you look like you're more concerned for me then you were a couple of years ago.'

'So, That stuff you said to me after Deeks was cleared of murder, that was you talking about yourself or me?' Granger asked.

'Maybe both.'

'And the New Year's revelation and kiss at midnight?'

'Hey, you did it to me, figured I could do it to you!'

'Well, that was nice.'

Silence.

'When did you know?' Granger asked. 'About your feelings?'

'I don't really know. Maybe, one part of it had to do with you almost being killed by the mole. I was really worried about you. You're an essential part of this team, and my friend, and I was scared of losing you. Abd this past year, the kind of person you've become, has made these feelings increased.' Hetty said. 'When did you know about your feelings?'

'That, I don't know for sure. Might have something to do with the person you are now: In charge of a team you care about, and the fact that they love you to the point of risking their lives for you, you're really nice despite the strict looks…'

Hetty leaned in to kiss him.

'Mmm! Did you forget about the ribs part?!'

'Oh right right!'

'Where do we go from here?' He asked.

'I don't know.' She responded.

'We should, try to figure out what these feelings are.'

'I guess so.'

'So, does that mean we're, unofficially dating?' He asked.

'I, guess so.' Hetty responded.
