Just the Way you Are

Cold Night in DC

From my Tropetember collection

'Man, it's cold here in DC today!' Granger said as he and Hetty went into their hotel room.

'Yeah, it's gonna be pretty cold for the next 2 days. At least, we're only here until tomorrow evening.' Hetty replied.

'At least this place has a heater!'

'That's for sure!'

But an hour later, the power went out. When it came back on, the heater wouldn't come on. After calling the landlord, he confessed that it had broken down, and he couldn't get anyone to fix it until the next morning.

'Unbelievable! It's in the 20's outside!' Hetty exclaimed.

'Well, 1 of us DID make sure to pack extra blankets, so we should be okay. If you get cold, feel free to sleep next to me.'

'Shouldn't be needed.'

The next morning, Granger woke up to Hetty sleeping right next to him.

Smiling, he put his arm around her and kissed her on the top of her head.

'Yes, I got cold. And the 2 extra blankets weren't helping, and you have a warm body.' Hetty said, sleepily.

'I figured as much. I still like waking up to see you snuggling next to me.'

Smiling, 'I like it too.'

'Say, you feel that?' Granger asked.

'Feel what?'

'Feels like the heater just came back on.'

'Good timing, because it's freezing in here!' Hetty chuckled.

'Indeed!'
