My love, my life,
I woke up and caught you thinking too hard over rewriting your letter and I couldn't help but search for the original. Of course, I knew where to find it: on the mantle, though I'm surprised you hadn't put the knife through it yet. You told me to get back in bed, so that's exactly what I did…after taking the letter and running. You chased after me, laughing the whole time. Sherlock, there isn't anything wrong with what you wrote. Though we aren't ready for such a step, I am happy you feel that way; that you have considered starting a family together. I want that too, eventually, but the timing just isn't right at the moment. Oh, how I love you.
I have been sick for the past couple of days and you have been taking such good care of me. You've made me soup and soothed my fever. You watched crap telly with me when I was bored from staying in bed. When I was ready to sleep, you sang to me softly. Thank you, my love. I am so appreciative of you and your kind heart. I'm still not feeling one hundred percent, but at least my fever is gone. I wish you hadn't sworn off cases during those two days; you must have been bored out of your mind. But I suppose that's what you meant by how important I am to you.
As for watching Rosie next weekend, I'm all for it. Can you believe that the first of December is already upon us? Time has flown by so fast. We have been together for nearly six months now. I am so proud of how much you've grown, Sherlock. We both have. Not only have we learned about how to navigate this relationship, but we've learned a lot about each other. I know that your favourite colour is blue and the way you like your eggs. You have your mother's eyes and your father's mannerisms. Bach and Vivaldi are your favourite composers and you often express through music what you feel you cannot express with words. The best part is that I understand what you're trying to say. I know that you secretly enjoy Doctor Who and that you're a romantic at heart. You love to dance and you love to cuddle (don't worry, your secret is safe with me).
I know it can be scary to have somebody know the most miniscule details about you, but I promise you there's nothing to be afraid of. Not with me. We are building a life together, my William. You are my best friend and the love of my life. I know I say it often, but I cannot stress it enough. You are never alone and never will be. I will always be here for you when you need me; when you want me. Not only am I in love with you, but I am in love with the life we have together. We are making beautiful memories with one another. I wouldn't trade this for the world. I love you. I am yours and you are mine. I promise to always take care of your heart, for you are the most precious to me as well.
With all my love and all my heart,
Your Molly xxx
