'I don't know why, but I've been feeling more strssed out then usual lately.' Hetty said to Nate.

'Tea not helping?' Nate asked.

'It helps, but only for a bit.'

'Well, here's an idea to help you...'

Nate gave Hetty a stress ball to squeeze whenever she was feeling stressed.

She tried it the next day.

She squeezed it during a phone call, during another phone call, when Eric gave troubling news about the case, during another phone call in which she was yelled at.

The next morning

'I think I wore the ball out.' Hetty said embarrassingly, after showing the deflated ball to Nate.

Nate chuckled.

'Let me guess, you've never seen anyone wear out a stress ball before?'

'No, but I think I've figured out why you've been so stressed.'

'Which is?' Hetty asked.

'The cases are stressing you out!'

'Ohhhh. Well, what do you suggest?'

'Taking it easy, like, finding other ways to relax during a case, I'm sure you have other ways to relax.'

'Yes, I do.'

'Well, then use them! It may help.'

'Thank you Nate, for the advice!'

'You're welcome, Hetty.' Nate answered.
