Happy Christmas. JW [sent at 8:17]

Happy Christmas, John. SH [sent at 8:18]

I'll be on my flight back to London just after noon, apparently we will open presents and then leave. So, see you tonight. JW [sent at 10:02]

Mrs. Hudson will be pleased. SH [sent at 10:02]

I think she has a gift for you. SH [sent at 10:03]

Did she get you a present? JW [sent at 10:03]

I haven't opened it yet. SH [sent at 10:03]

And did you get her a gift? JW [sent at 10:04]

I was hoping I could put my name on whatever you got her. SH [sent at 10:04]

Of course you were. You're lucky that I actually got her something. JW [sent at 10:05]

Do you need me to pick you up at the airport? SH [sent at 10:32]

Are you actually offering to help me with something like this? JW [sent at 10:33]

That is why I sent you that text, John. Try to keep up. SH [sent at 10:34]

Never mind. Yes, I would appreciate it if you picked me up. I'll email you the flight details, yeah? JW [sent at 10:34]

Alright. SH [sent at 10:34]

John. Bored. SH [sent at 13:47]

John. SH [sent at 13:49]

John. SH [sent at 13:52]

Oh, right. You're on a plane. Never mind, then. SH [sent at 14:01]

I need your plane to land now. I need to see you. SH [message deleted]

I was right, Mrs. Hudson was pleased to hear you were coming back. SH [sent at 14:32]

Bored. SH [sent at 14:35]

How long is this flight, this is ridiculous. SH [sent at 14:36]

I checked, you've only been in the air for and hour and a half. Sorry. SH [sent at 14:40]

Bored. SH [sent at 14:50]

Bored. SH [sent at 14:55]

I've landed, you better be on your way to the airport. JW [sent at 20:01]

Of course I am, John, I've been waiting to leave since you asked me to pick you up. SH [sent at 20:03]

Jeez, Sherlock. Is that all you've done today, wait around to pick me up? JW [sent at 20:04]

Yes. And I texted you. SH [sent at 20:04]

Yes, and I saw them when I turned my phone back on. JW [sent at 20:06]

Oh, right. SH [sent at 20:06]

I'm outside the airport, whenever you're ready. SH [sent at 20:07]

Sherlock? JW [sent at 23:46]

I thought you said you were going to bed. SH [sent at 23:46]

I was, but I got distracted by the present that is sitting on my bed that says 'from Sherlock'. JW [sent at 23:47]

Oh, right, that. SH [sent at 23:47]

Did you actually get me a Christmas present? JW [sent at 23:47]

Obviously. SH [sent at 23:48]

Should I be worried about its contents? JW [sent at 23:49]

Why would you be? SH [sent at 23:49]

I don't know. I'll just open it, then. JW [sent at 23:49]

It was my intention to have you open it. SH [sent at 23:50]

Sherlock? JW [sent at 23:55]

Still here, John. SH [sent at 23:55]

This is amazing. JW [sent at 23:55]

It's just a jumper. SH [sent at 23:55]

But it's a Christmas jumper, with a snowman on the front and everything, which makes it amazing. JW [sent at 23:56]

I still don't see why, but okay. SH [sent at 23:57]

Happy Christmas, Sherlock. JW [sent at 23:59]

Happy Christmas, John. SH [sent at 24:00]

I meant to make it longer, but this chapter was exceedingly hard to write for some reason. I get a lot of my word count from the times, so do not be fooled.

You should see the goofy smile I have on when I see I have a new review, so continue leaving them, please!
