A/N: I wanted to do something to finish of The Woman's part in this properly (and to get John to resurrect his file), it took me ages to get this idea to work in a way I was happy with. I really hope you like it! :)
"I need a new phone," Sherlock announced, stalking into the flat and flinging the offending piece of equipment on the side table.
John looked up from the book he was reading, "Why?"
"The Woman," Sherlock spat, flopping into his seat, "she's started texting me again."
John raised an eyebrow, "What does she want?"
"The same as always," Sherlock muttered, drumming his fingers agitatedly on the armrests of his chair. "Me," he clarified, catching the look on John's face.
"Oh."
John watched as Sherlock continued to fume silently in his chair, "Couldn't you just tell her to stop texting you?" John asked.
Sherlock shot him a dark look, "That would only encourage her."
"You saved her life," John reminded him, "most women would take that as some form of encouragement."
"Molly was there," Sherlock grumbled as though John hadn't spoken, "she's not stupid, she knows."
"The ringtone's a bit of a giveaway," John commented drily. "What a minute, Molly? What's she got to do with this?" John asked as what Sherlock had said sunk in.
Something akin to panic flashed across Sherlock's face, so quickly that John wasn't sure that he'd seen it. "Nothing," he said quickly, not meeting John's eye, "but it had an adverse effect on her that proved distracting."
John tried to hide a smile as he regarded Sherlock, "So you're getting a new phone to stop The Woman from texting you because Molly got upset?" he clarified.
Sherlock narrowed his eyes, unsure whether there was a hidden meaning to John's question, "Yes," he said finally.
"Ok," John said, hiding a smirk behind his book as he resumed reading.
Sherlock eyed him suspiciously, trying to deduce the source of John's amusement, before deeming it inconsequential and heading out to purchase a new phone.
John waited until he was certain the consulting detective was gone, before setting aside his book and reaching for his laptop.
Perhaps he had been too quick to delete that file after all.

A/N: I have this theory that The Woman opened Sherlock's eyes to the other woman in his life, hence why he's starting to slip up a little here :P
