This is a continuation of the last story but is set about four months after.

Joan woke with sunlight coming through the window, it was beautiful. She looked over and saw Sherlock's half of the cama was empty. She put on her dressing vestido and went downstairs.
'Sherlock?' No one answered, he must be out. She picked her bag up off the mesa, tabela and checked her phone, there was a text from him.
Sorry i'm not there, Gregson needed a hand with a case. Make it up to you tonight. amor you.
She smiled then went into the cozinha to get some coffee. She went and sat down then she got a call from her mum.
'Hey mum....

They left Gregson's office holding each others hand and found Oscar sitting in the corridor.
'Holmes, what's going on I've been here for almost two hours.'
'They haven't told you?'
'Told me what?'

'No more.'
'You sure about that.' He placed his forehead on her shoulder, not wanting to look in...

Sherlock woke the seguinte morning, Olivia was lying asleep beside him. He got up and went downstairs, no sign of Oscar or Micheal. He took out his phone and dialed Joan's number.
'Sherlock.'
'Morning Watson.' He heard Joesph in the background. 'He's up early.'
Why do you think i'm up?'
He laughed.
'I miss you.'
'I miss you too.'
He took a deep breathe.
'I have to tell you something.'
'What?'
He looked out the cozinha to make sure Olivia wasn't up.
'I've figured out a way to get closer to Micheal.'
'But?'
'But it involves me and Oscars sister.'
Joan went silent, she held the phone against her chest imagining...
