3:12 a.m.

Sherlock, are you awake?

Of course. Is there something you want? -SH

I'm not sure. I feel like I'm missing something. Does that ever happen to you?

On occasion. -SH

What do you do about it?

I find whatever I am missing. -SH

You make it sound so easy.

You make it more difficult than it needs to be. -SH

10-15

5:15 p.m.

Did you manage to find what you lost?-SH

Unfortunately no. I'm sorry about messaging you so late, by the way. Sometimes my thoughts get the better of me when it's night time. Who knows what I am missing... Would my favorite consulting detective have any ideas?

Yours is a case I would not take. -SH

I didn't think so.

My apologies. -SH

You're not sorry.

No, I'm not.-SH

10-20

4:01 p.m.

Was that loud noise coming from your flat?

Yes.-SH

Should I be concerned?

No, but you probably will be anyway.-SH

If you must know, I was experimenting with different types of blood spatter. -SH

Blood spatter?

Why don't you finish up what you're doing and come visit me? I've made lasagna and have plenty of extra.

I'll be down shortly.-SH

10-27

1:30 a.m.

You were lonely.-SH

What?

That is why you felt as though you were missing something. You were lonely. -SH

I see you took my case after all!

I wouldn't call it taking your case, but if you want to pay me, I would not refuse. -SH

I don't mean to be lonely. I think it's just a human thing. Humans aren't made to be alone. How do you do it?

I've had a lot of practice.-SH

9:56 p.m.

There was a body found in a haunted house attraction. Meet me outside in 5. -SH

11-04

1:42p.m.

You're going with me to John and Mary's for dinner Wednesday night.

What is the occasion?-SH

I'm taking John's advice. We need to get out and change things up.

I don't need you making plans for me, but I will accept this time. -SH

Good. I'll see you after work.

Don't forget to bring the books. -SH

Review review review please!

Thank you to everyone that has followed and favorited and everything! It means so much! I have great plans for this story! I'm just trying to build a base for those plans to go off of without seeming rushed. I hate reading a story where they immediately love each other and are attracted and blah blah blah. It bothers me. I'm trying not to do that.
