Just the Way you Are

Toothache

From my Sicktember collection. :)

Hetty noticed Granger was acting stranger then usual, like badly moving his mouth on one side, and icing his face.

'Owen, are you okay?' She asked.

'I'm fine.' He responded.

'I just saw you put that bag of frozen peas back in the fridge, what's wrong?'

Granger knew he had to tell her.

'Sigh. A tooth in the left side of my face has been bothering me for a few days. Thought it would go away by now.' Granger said.

'Oh dear. Well, what do you think is wrong?'

'I don't know. I might have to go to the dentist tomorrow. And I'll need you to drive me home tomorrow.'

'Okay.'

The next day

After the appointment, Hetty took Granger home and got him on the couch.

'Hey (rubbing his shoulder), the numbness will wear off soon.' Hetty said.

'I can't feel the left side of my face.' Granger muttered.

'Ohhhh.' Hetty kissed him on the right cheek.

'Mmm. Love you too.' Granger muttered.

'When you get up from your nap, I'll make you some soup.'

That evening

'Feeling better?' Hetty asked.

'Well, I can finally feel my face again, so that's nice.' Granger replied.

'That's good.'

'Sniff sniff. What's that good smell?'

'Oh, just an old soup recipe I dug out.' Hetty said.

'Smells good.'
