At home.
Hetty had put her tea cup away and was about to head upstairs to get ready for bed when she heard a knock at the door.
'Nate? What are you doing here in this weather?!' She asked, stunned.
'My car broke down a mile back, my phone is dead, and I think I think I need a place to stay for the night.' Nate stammered, dripping wet.
'Come in! Come in and get warm!'
Hetty beckoned him to her fireplace. After giving him a blanket, she went to make hot chocolate.
'Mmm. That smells good! And do I even want to know why you have such a big robe?' Nate asked.
'It's just in case anyone I know needs it. And since you didn't bring any spare clothing with you, it'll have to do while your clothes are in the dryer.' Hetty warmly replied.
'I feel a little silly wearing this, given that it's pink. But it's cozy and warm, and I'll take that. (tasting the chocolate). And wow! This is good chocolate!'
'Aw, my pleasure! Guest room is right upstairs. I hope you sleep well.'
She started walking to the stairs when Nate called out:
'Thanks for letting me stay the night!'
'You're welcome!'
