She had always seemed odd. Her nervousness around him was always throwing him. Sherlock never knew why, but he always thought there was something unique and different about Molly Hooper. Her kindness was timeless, and she at times seemed wise beyond her years. Two things, however, had surprised him recently. The meek-mannered pathologist had feelings for him. Not just adoration or loyalty as he had suspected. No, this was different. Love. She loved him, and he had never even seen it before.

He would not forget the dreadful Christmas event, in which he had torn her down so terribly. She stood there, taking his harsh deductions with a strong will. She had even put him in his place. This, too, had been a bit of a shock. However, not over surprising. She'd done it before, when he'd overstepped his boundaries. No, the other surprise had been when she thought she was alone. Sherlock had watched her on the street below, and witnessed something truly surprising. Molly Hooper had been angry. He could tell as much from her heavy breathing and balled fists. But, what she had done with that anger, well, needless to say, Sherlock's suspicions were confirmed. And after the incident at Baskerville, any and all doubt had been removed. There was something unique and different about Molly Hooper. His mind sparked back to that night on the moor, he had felt fear. Exciting, absolutely frantic fear coursing through his veins. And when he had remembered that night, watching her powerful strike, Sherlock recalled a flash, if only a flash, of that same hitch in his pulse.
