Just the Way you Are

Cookies

It had been a long day at work. The case had dragged on for 3 days straight, and was finally solved that day.

'How long were you in the boatshed for?' Hetty asked.

'Hours. And I think I have a bad headache coming on now.' Granger responded.

'Oh. Can I make you something?'

'Just going to take a pain pill and head to bed. I'll see you in the morning.'

The next morning

Hetty had been busy for a few hours.

'I hope he likes these.' She thought.

'What's that cooking smell?' Granger asked.

'Good morning! I was making cookies. You can try one after you eat breakfast!'

'Since when do you make cookies?' Granger asked, looking surprised.

'I've made cookies before, like, a few years ago. I'm sure these turned out good.

An hour later

'Oh. Wow um, This has an, interesting taste.' Granger said after tasting one of the cookies.

'They don't taste very good. I know' Hetty sadly said after eating one.

'Well, maybe.'

'Sigh. I guess it's just been too long since I last made cookies. And, I wanted to cheer you up after how tough yesterday was.'

'And that was a very nice thing to do. You didn't have to do that, I usually feel better after a night's sleep. But, it was nice.' Granger said, nicely.

'Thank you, dear.'

'Now, what do you want to do with these?'

'Oh. I'll try giving them to various agents, maybe they'll like them.'

'Sounds good.'
