Her partner had been in a serious car accident and had been rushed to the hospital.

'I love you, Owen. And I have for a long time. It's only taken me until today to fully realize it.' Hetty said.
Stunned silence.
'Please say something.'
'Took you long enough to finally say it.' Granger replied.
Now it was Hetty's turn to be stunned.
'Please. You think I didn't notice the way you treated me after Vietnam? I've had similar feelings to you for a long time, it's just taken me the past year to start seeing it again.'

Smiling. 'We'll talk about this more when you get home. In the meantime, rest up.' Hetty replied.
'Is this the part when you kiss me?'
'Mmm, just on the cheek for now.'
