Dearest William,

It was a nice surprise to find you in my flat after coming home from a hard day at work. You brought takeaway for us and even suggested a film from my collection to watch together. I knew I missed you but didn't realize how much until your arms were around me. I had a lovely evening with you. So, to answer your question from earlier as to what our next date should be...I'd really like to have another day of taking cases with you like before. It was fun and I enjoy doing what you love.

Your thoughtful words in your last letter gave me comfort. You always say such beautiful things. Always. You have grown so much after the last four months. I'm so proud of you, my love. Your suggestions about handling any future rows we'll have are quite insightful. We will never go to bed angry. I'll make sure of that. And talking things out immediately is always better than waiting until things blow up in our faces. I feel that we have learned so much from each other.

I would love to have you help with Rosie the next time I watch her. I bet she'd enjoy it too. She adores her Uncle Sherlock. Speaking of children who adore you, do you remember Archie from John and Mary's wedding? I saw him and his mum just the other day and do you know what he said to me? He said that he wanted to be a detective when he grows up. Isn't that just wonderful? He really looks up to you. I thought it was sweet and figured you'd like to know that.

I'm glad to know that you trust me with your heart. I trust you with mine as well. If I had to do everything all over again, I would still choose you. We've been through so much together; a lot of it has been terrifying and painful but we've had good times too. I think it's about time you have some happiness. And if I'm the one who makes you smile, then I'm more than happy to try every day. I'm never going to let you down. I know it's a big promise, but I know I can keep it. Whenever you're feeling lost, I will always find you. You are never alone and you never will be. You will always have me. I love you, Sherlock.

With all my love,

Molly xxx
