From my Flufftober 2021 collection. :)
Hetty was coming home from DC after a 2 day meeting, and Granger was looking forward to welcoming her home. So much so, he left work early to get dinner ready.
When she came home, she went right upstairs to take a shower.
Later
'Thank you for the food, dear. But I just want to eat and go to bed. My head is killing me.' Hetty said.
'That bad of a meeting?' Granger asked.
'I hate doing damage control when unexpected things happen, you know that!'
'Hey, it wasn't our fault that the suspect who stole from those politicians died in our custody from a heart attack!'
'Try telling that to them. 2 days of getting yelled at, they eventually got tired, someone apologized for forcing me to endure 2 days of getting yelled at over nothing. Not to mention, my flight hit turbulence, felt like I was gonna puke. And now I have a headache.'
'Sorry to hear.' Granger replied.
After she finished eating, she went right to bed. Granger followed a bit later.
When he came to bed, she moved closer to him and kissed his shoulder.
'Thank you for dinner.' She said, sleepily.
'You're welcome, and I hope you feel better in the morning.' He whispered.
The next morning
'How are you feeling?' Granger asked.
'Better. (yawn).' Hetty replied.
'Anything I can do?'
'Yeah. Keep being the kind of husband that you are. The kind who understands when his wife just wants to rest instead of talk.'
Smiling. 'I can do that.'
