Inspired by the song by Lauren Aquilina. "You'll be fine without me. You won't even notice that I'm gone." Sherlolly companion piece to 'Please Forgive Me'. ONE-SHOT!

Sherlock must attend a high-society ball, undercover, and John will NOT go with him. Instead, he forces Sherlock to ask Molly. At the last minute, Sherlock decides that the best cover for them would be husband and wife-but will this bring trouble with their suspect, a man who seems to desire most the things he cannot have?

A man walks into a bar to talk to the only woman who matters... Or is she? Months after the Fall, Sherlock Holmes tracks down Ms. Irene Adler to ask her a very important question. But can The Woman help him find any clarity? And will her words do more harm than good? Rated hard T for language. Complete for now. Adler POV, implied Sherlolly.
