Author's Note: Dear lovely guest, thank you so much! I'm so glad you picked up on the intimacy of Sherlock signing his last letter with his first name. It was done for that purpose to show his emotional growth with Molly.
Sherlock, my love,
I am so happy that you're healing. Also, I'm glad to know that I've been helping you heal. It's so important to me that your heart is happy and unbroken. You deserve to be happy. I will always be patient with you. I feel accomplished in knowing that you feel safe with me…I hope you felt that as we made love last night.
I cannot begin to tell you how complete I feel, finally being joined with you as one. Your gentleness was a welcome surprise and I relished in it; the feel of you. Oh, I love how we laughed together, lost in our own world, lost in each other. It sounds cliché I suppose, but it felt magical, like for the first time in my life, everything was perfectly right. If that was a concerto you played on my skin, it is my favourite song. I love the way you love me.
Right now, you're in my kitchen, making us breakfast. I am in your shirt, my hair still in wild tangles. I'm still laughing to myself that when I playfully complained about my messy hair, you told me that you'd make it messier and that it was a promise. I hope you keep that promise. I still feel a bit embarrassed that I called out your first name; I know how much you dislike it but it came out so naturally on my tongue. I hope you didn't mind. It didn't seem you did.
You're my favourite person in the whole world; my best friend. You make me laugh and smile constantly. I always look forward to working on a case with you. Not to mention, we love each other's weirdness. You laugh at my awful jokes and make some pretty terrible ones, yourself. And even though you don't ever eat on cases, you're beginning to by stealing chips from my takeaway. I don't mind it though. And God, the way you looked at me this morning when we woke in each other's arms with those beautiful eyes of yours…I wonder if it's possible to fall even more in love with you. It is possible because I did. I've fallen so much harder.
I love you, William Sherlock Scott Holmes. And I always will.
With all my love,
Your Molly xxx
