Mummy needs rest, so Mycroft takes Sherlock to the park. It's a brilliant summer day and Sherlock busies himself looking at the insects in the flowerbeds while Mycroft sits under a tree with Julius Caesar. He doesn't notice the teenager who approaches until she's towering over him. Startled, Mycroft looks up to see a sheepish girl holding Much Ado About Nothing. She asks if she can join him, and Mycroft says yes.
The girl's name is Beth, and she's also at the park watching a younger brother. The teens chat and trade Shakespeare quotes. Mycroft didn't think he cared about romance but he finds himself with butterflies in his stomach.
Beth points to a boy chasing a girl around the playground, worms in his hands. "Who's that hellion?"
"No clue," Mycroft says.
Minutes later, both are startled by a boy's shrieks. The little girl's brother has decided to teach Worm Boy a lesson. Mycroft winces as the bigger boy gives Worm Boy a black eye.
Wary of the bully, Beth collects her brother and Mycroft's phone number and departs. Mycroft finds Sherlock and promises to put ice on his black eye when they get home. Mycroft's greatest fear is that he'll never make this up to Sherlock.
