It had been 96 days 14 hours and 32 minutes since Sherlock had last seen her, since the ball and banquet a lot had happened. Well, that was an understatement; Sherlock had met the 'woman' when there was an issue of national security and had been smitten. Then when she left he had 2 heart breaks and had turned to drugs, it had taken a lot of work from Mycroft and Greg to get him clean but they had done so. Then there was the madman called Moriarty, and that had almost ended in Sherlock's death.
But now nothing of any interest was happening so he was able to think about her again. Mycroft was planning on 'courting' his lady and so Sherlock would have to join him. Sherlock wanted nothing more than to never see a woman again, but every time he convinced himself he remembered the ball and banquet.
He had, had a shoe made to his exact memory of the shoe and it was now kept in a glass display box where anyone could come and see it. Sherlock, being Sherlock was having yet another bad day, when he saw the shoe that was bringing him such misery.
John was now happy courting his lady, and soon Mycroft would be the same. So where did that leave Sherlock?
He walked with purpose over to the show and broke the glass and picked up the shoe. He walked up to the highest point of the castle and threw the shoe as far as he could
The next day Sherlock walked past the now broken box and his heart ached. He told john he would find the shoe, or have another one made.
Molly was in the woods collecting twigs for the fires. She kept dreaming about the Prince and every night she dreamt of him and all the things she heard about haunted her.
Toby had followed her to the woods, she felt bad that he was always locked inside, so at every opportunity she let Toby join her.
Toby came back with something in his mouth and dropped it in front of Molly. It was the shoe. Molly looked at the shoe and picked it up and danced in the middle of the wood holding the shoe near to her heart.
Totally unaware that across the small river was Sir John and Lady Mary enjoying a picnic. As soon as John saw the figure dancing in the woods he just knew, Mary had no idea what was going on when John helped her onto the horse and they rode towards the palace.
Molly was in her own little world when she heard the sounds of a horse coming towards her.
The horse had barely stopped when the Prince jumped off the horse and pulled Molly into his arms and kissed with passion.
