For three days I was staying beside my wife without receiving any news from my dear friend. I expected him to be solving a case with his darling fiancée. Knowing how wrong it is to jump to conclusions, I went to 222B, Baker Street, and saw things absolutely contrary to what I thought.
Firstly, Holmes was not sitting beside the table, but standing on the balcony. He was obviously staring outside the window. He was so absorbed that he didn't even notice the sound of my footsteps. I approached to him and patted him on the shoulder. He jumped and turned.
"Oh good morning Watson," he said cordially, "I was too absorbed in my own thoughts that I didn't hear your footsteps. '
"What thought is so agreeable for you?" I asked. "Oh I see. Another very intriguing case." I added, wanting to know better the new Holmes and compare him with the old one.
Holmes shook his head with a smile. "My brand new life with Emma." he corrected. I widened my eyes in surprise.
"By G-d Holmes you do love her." I said.
The doorbell rang. Holmes ran to get it. As he opened the door both of us saw Emma, smiling sweetly.
"I suppose I am on time?" she asked Holmes playfully.
Holmes smiled. "As always." He replied lovingly.
Holmes leaded his fiancée into the hall. They stopped beside the sofa, facing each other. I remarked that both Holmes and Emma's eyes were filled with love and adoration for each other. I saw that they loved each other dearly. No need to explain even more, I knew that they made the best couple in the world. Holmes was not Prince Charming, Emma not the princess, but they were even better than these kinds of classical couples, because inside them, they were too deeply in love to care about other temptations.
"You are the most angelical girl I've ever known." Holmes said to his Emma softly.
" And you… you are the best of men" Emma replied in an equally soft voice.
Holmes grabbed her and kissed her passionately.
It was my turn to stare at the balcony, not to be absorbed in my thoughts, but to give this couple some privacy.
