Savannah Palmer "Dealing with the dead" Chapter one
Molly's heart beats fast as a rush of nerves hits her. Standing at the bottom of the stairwell dressed to the nines. "Maybe he'll notice my new dress? Of course he'll notice, he notices everything." She thought to herself whilst taking a deep breath before facing the great man himself. The one she has been obsessed with for years, her soul mate, her only friend. Sherlock Holmes. "Going on a date Molly?" Sherlock enquires. The horrid deductions start, "Hair done, new dress, obviously someone you want to impress. Red lipstick to match your freshly polished nails, the colour of love. The fact that you're trying so hard suggests that maybe he's not that interested." On the verge of tears, Molly quietly says "Actually, I just popped in to say Happy Birthday" Dropping the present, she quickly scurries down the stairs and hails a taxi. Molly arrives home to find that someone new has moved into the apartment next door. Moments later she hears a knock on the door, Molly swiftly wipes the tears away and checks her makeup in the mirror. She opens the door to find a stranger on the other side. A tall dark haired man with pale milky skin and piercing hazel eyes. He introduces himself, "Hello my name is Jim, Jim Moriarty." In awe of his beauty and charisma, Molly stutters, "umm… hi I'm Molly, Molly Hooper." Jim explains that he's just moved in next door and is new to the neighbourhood. As the door closes behind Jim, Molly instantly falls in love "He's so perfect, just like Sherlock but maybe I'll have a chance this time."
