They were not normal. They were not normal individuals. They were not a normal couple. After all, how many couples had their first dates interrupted by being summoned to a crime scene? As a result, when they sat down to their candlelit dinner, the boxes they were hiding were too big for rings.
"Will you marry me?" they each asked. "Yes."
Then, after they had exchanged boxes, John donned a brand new blue scarf, and Sherlock, an oatmeal jumper.
