Hetty's house.

'How are you feeling today, dear?' Hetty asked.

'Not really better then yesterday, still feeling hot and cold.' Callen replied.

Hetty took his temperature. 'Hmm. Fever's looking a little better then yesterday, so that's a plus. You feeling up for some soup?'

'Yeah that might help.'

Later on, Hetty came back with delicious looking soup, and some fuzzy socks.

'Fuzzy socks? My feet aren't cold underneath these blankets.' Callen said.

'I know. But, from past experience, I find having something warm and fuzzy to keep warm with very comforting while recovering from an illness. Or when I'm just getting over a hard day.' Hetty replied.

'Well, I'd say no, but I have a feeling you'll keep on bugging me until I say yes, so. I'll give them a try.'

'Good! And I wasn't going to nag you into saying yes.'

That evening.

'Hmm! You're looking better! Maybe you'll be good enough to come to work tomorrow.' Hetty said after taking his temperature.

'That's great! Must have been your soup.' Callen replied.

'I take it the socks worked well?'

'My feet haven't felt this warm in I don't know how long!'

Hetty smiled. 'I'm very glad to hear that!'
