The piano played softly in the bar, sending chills through her body. Her heart sped up as she recognized the song as one of her parents' songs. The song was full of memory and full of so much love for her.
She recalled the last time she heard it.
John and Mary's wedding…
She sighed and slowly slid off the barstool. The song wasn't one for John and Mary, but it was afterward she recalled how Mary smiled at her and motioned to him.
It was the song that made her realize the truth.
He did care. He cared more than he would ever say.
The slow walk home had her mind wandering over the course of the past few days.
The break up from Tom.
The fear for Sherlock after he was shot.
The agony of knowing he would soon be expelled from the country.
It was hard to imagine life without him.
She lifted her phone when she felt it vibrate and smiled. He needed to see her. Perhaps to say goodbye, at least she would see him.
Calling a cab, she directed the driver to his address and slowly walked up the stairs.
She froze when she heard music coming from his flat, and her heart skipped a beat.
The door was open and she entered. Her mouth opened as she took in the candles, the dim lighting, and the absence of the furniture, but her eyes widened as she caught sight of him. "Sherlock…"
His eyes twinkled at her expression. He was wearing black pants and the dark purple shirt with the buttons tight across his chest. He looked devasting.
So was she, her knee length black dress flowed out at the hips and her long hair was straightened and rested past her shoulders. She was beautiful.
He held out his hand and smiled. "Dance with me, Molly Hooper."
Her feet obeyed his quiet command, and her hand landed in his. He pulled her close and the song began anew.
Her breath caught in her throat as he carefully moved her around the empty room. She smiled with her feet moving in rhythm of Sinatra's song of old. You're lovely, with your smile so warm and your cheeks so soft, there is nothing for me but to love you, and the way you look tonight.
She heard the words, but not from Sinatra…from him.
Her eyes lifted to his as the dance continued. He twirled her out and twirled her back into his arms. The words drifted through her head, but for once she didn't listen to them.
He led her around the room. Adding a quick step then another quick step with a slide to the right. She laughed as she felt her body go lighter than air. And the laugh that wrinkles your nose.
He smiled at the animation on her face, and then as they turned in three points, the song slowed to a quiet beat. A slow quick step and he lowered her into a deep dip before slowly bringing her back up.
She realized they were out of breath as she searched his eyes, and she realized after moments had passed what this was.
It was a goodbye.
"It's not goodbye, Molly. It's a promise." He whispered, reading her thoughts as he always seemed to do.
"What promise?" She asked, catching her breath.
He pulled her closer and touched her cheek with his lips. In his deep baritone voice, he told her. "A promise that I'll return, and please, for everything that is holy, don't change." He answered, pulling back at the last words.
"Change?" She asked, feeling her body shake as his voice sent shivers through her spine.
He smiled, faintly. "Your breathless charm. You're lovely." He paused, wanting to say more, but he couldn't.
She understood and touched his cheek. No other words were spoken as Sherlock pressed play once again and together they laughed as they danced until morning when he had to leave.
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you. Just the way you look tonight.
Please be kind!
When I got this request, I saw this in my head. It may not be what you hoped for, and I hope I didn't get too cheesy, as I'm not a fan of cheesy, but I am a romantic at heart!
There were two songs requested. This was one, and the other struck my creativity as well, so I'm going to do it too! If anyone has a request! Let me know!
I would have had this up earlier, but I overslept. (I had a day off, and sleep beckoned...lol)
Until Next Time...
