"Just a bit. The ends needed trimming. Only you would notice." She glances up with a smile for his powers of observation and catches him scowling, though he immediately schools it to indifference.

She arches a brow. "Although…" she muses, "I've been thinking a change might be nice. Shoulder-length, or perhaps shorter- I had a pixie cut when I was younger."

He's honestly horrified.

She snorts with amusement. "I'm joking, Sherlock!"

His eyes narrow, and he says with clipped disapproval, "Humor: not your area, Molly," and whirls out the door, escaping precipitately from her peal of laughter.
