This is just a drabble, and therefore very short. The title is actually a line from the Beady Eye's song "Start Anew", that was playing in the last scene of the episode 1x24 "Heroine" (slight spoilers for that episode).
"You know that... that this is far from over, right?"
Sherlock's words come off as a surprise for Joan. It doesn't feel right, that sort of thing to be said in that sort of situation. Actually, it doesn't feel right to say anything during a moment that they share: it's perfect just the way it is.
He doesn't tell her what was he referring to, but she already knows.
"There will be... a trial." He continues, looking blankly at the beehive. "And police has yet to capture all of the criminals that she employed. Knowing her, I am sure that some of them are capable off..."
"Helping her escape?"
Sherlock just nods his head. Joan runs her hand through her hair, all of the sudden feeling a dread seeping into her stomach. But she suppresses it the best she can and looks Sherlock in the eyes. For a moment, she thinks that she saw him blushing. Maybe.
"We defeated her once, we can do it again."
A warm wind blows, playing with Joan's hair. Sherlock sighs.
"It's over, Sherlock."
Small smile forms on Sherlock lips. Joan smiles, turning her attention back to the beehive.
"Let's just... watch bees, OK? Let's not think about her today, for once. Just... enjoy ourselves."
This time, they did.
