Martha Hudson entered the narrow hallway of 221 Baker Street, carrying several bags of shopping. She glanced upwards at the closed door leading into 221b, and smiled to herself. The famous "Baker Street boys" had recently married, and Martha was ecstatic. She was elated that the two had finally admitted what everyone else knew: they loved each other.
Martha Hudson was a great believer in marriage, even after her own disastrous one to Terence Hudson, the greatest creep and pervert since Jack the Ripper roamed the streets.
With difficulty, she pushed open the door to her flat; the weight of the groceries was causing her arthritic wrists to flare in pain. She'll put her shopping away, then maybe have a cup of tea and rest her poor feet. She could play a bit of bingo with her new laptop. It was such a thoughtful gift from Sherlock. It meant that she could still contact people, and play games, even when she didn't leave the house. He was a nice boy, that one. If only he learnt to think before he opened his mouth.
Martha walked into her kitchen where she'd left her laptop on the sideboard to charge. From his new perch beside the dripping tap, Jesse looked at Mrs. Hudson. Martha shook her head, smiling. "Well then. Maybe not bingo?"
I absolutely adore The Adventure of the Civil Partnership, and I tried to write this segment without giving away any spoilers for those of you who want to go and read it. Go, it's fantastic :)
