The next day, Hetty's place
'Looks like you and Kim had a good talk.' Granger remarked.
'We did. I hope you can understand why I'm a bit skeptical about this.' Hetty replied, sipping her tea.
'I hurt you, you've been through a terrible ordeal, and your best friend suddenlys hows up wanting to rekindle something. Must be overwhelming.'
'It is. Especially since I don't know if I want to try to pursue whatever it is that we had.'
'Well, you agreed to meet with me after you told me to leave. Maybe a part of you wants to try to explore what it was we felt about each other.' Granger suggested.
'Maybe. This past month has been, intense. My brain feels jumbled up most of the time, especially when I'm trying to sleep. I feel like my team is walking on eggshells with me when they ask how I'm doing, even though they probably aren't. And then you show up. It's been a lot.' Hetty replied.
'I've been feeling really guilty for the last year, and then finding out what you've been through. I guess I just want to try and comfort you. I'm not trying ti make you feel like a damsel who needs to be comforted, I just want to try and make things right with you.'
'Well, thank you for your candor. And, I guess a part of me wants to try and make up for lost time with you. So, I suppose we can, hang out.' Hetty relunctically replied.
'Well thank you! Do you want to go have dinner tomorrow night?'
'That'd be nice.'
After a bit more talking, Granger went home.
'Oh dear. What am I getting myself into?' Hetty thought while sipping her tea.
