Note: There was definitely an early morning conversation before this episode started. (snicker snicker).


It was very early in the morning. Granger was hanging around OPS, enjoying the peace and quiet, and waiting on a call.

Then a message showed up. Hetty was calling.

'Well good morning! Were you waiting for me to call?' She asked, giving a wicked grin.

'Chuckle. Maybe. Did you get in okay?' He replied.

'Yes. Mr. Callen and Mr. Hanna are still asleep. I wake up early regardless of time difference, figured I'd call you.'

'You sure it's not because you miss me?'

Hetty laughed.

'You look, really cute in that pink sweater.'

Slightly blushing. 'Thanks, it's too early in the day for my usual attire.'

'This is kind of nice, in a way. Just the 2 of us, alone. Everyone's asleep. Feels, very peaceful.'

'Owen, are you trying to flirt with me?' Hetty asked.

'Maybe?' He asked.

'Well, I love it! (light chuckle). I guess the whole 'secret dating' thing has rubbed off on you.'

Smiling. 'Guess so'.

'We should do this more often. More alone time conversations before work, it could be really cozy.'

'That'd be very nice.' Granger replied.

'Well, I should get going before someone wakes up and catches us. Talk to you later?'

'Sure, sure! And Hetty?'

'Yes?'

Smiling. 'Take care of yourself out there.'

Hetty smilied back. 'You too, Owen.'

Sure enough, when she got home. Granger greeted her with a candlelit breakfast at work!
