"Endings"
Holmes stands by the window, tracing his finger down the cold glass, leaving twin trails of condensation on either side of the tip. His spine is rigid, his left arm at a painful angle with the hand shoved into the pocket, but his hooded eyes skim Baker Street with unfocused malaise.I sit at my desk, notebook open. I dip my pen, and Holmes moves to lie on the divan. I scratch out a few words, some choice phrases from our interview with Lestrade, when he says, "The least satisfying moments, really."
I smile. "For you. My work only begins."
