"You said what!?" John and Mycroft shouted in unison.
"What was I supposed to do?" Sherlock defended. "I can't have her be in any more danger than she already was."
"Sherlock, don't you think that's her decision to make?" John asked.
"I know what her choice would've been, so therefore I had to make sure she believed in the lie," Sherlock explained.
"Brother mine, I can't believe I'm saying this, but you need to tell her the truth," Mycroft sighed.
"I can't," Sherlock began, his voice breaking. "I can't lose her." While they understood where he was coming from, they knew it was a mistake for him not to tell Molly that he meant the 'I love you.'
"You had your chance, Sherlock," Mycroft told him. "Now, we must focus on mummy and father."
"Quite right," Sherlock agreed a little too enthusiastically. He was desperately trying to avoid the topic of his potential love life.
Not long after the Holmes brothers left John's house, did the good doctor receive a text from Mycroft.
You do realize we must interfere in my brother's affairs or lack thereof?
John knew that it was exactly what they had to do.
