My love,
Thank you for taking me with you to see Eurus. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous myself. She plays violin just as beautifully as you do. I didn't expect to see such a resemblance between the two of you since Mycroft hardly looks anything like you. She looked surprised at my presence; maybe even a little frightened. I love how you conveyed my forgiveness through your music after I had voiced it. After a bit, she seemed relaxed. This was the closure I needed. The real shock was when she spoke for the first time in months. Though it wasn't full sentences, it was a start. She said our names, amongst other things. It was surreal. Look, I just want to say that I know this was hard for you to allow and I am so appreciative of it.
About your nightmares, I wasn't aware of them until I read your last letter. If you ever need to talk with me about it, even in the middle of the night, don't hesitate. I don't mind if it's four in the morning; just wake me and I'll comfort you the best I can. I am so happy that you've gotten better. There is always a chance of relapse with any former addict but I truly believe you are strong enough to beat it should you ever feel the pull of it. After seeing Eurus together, Mycroft had warned me that it very well could be a danger night but I felt no reason to worry and I was right. You didn't show the slightest interest in relapsing. Instead, we worked on experiments together and played a couple rounds of Cluedo before settling into bed.
It brings me joy to know you are looking forward to Christmas and that you consider me part of your family. In reference to that Christmas those years ago, I had forgiven you the same night when you apologised, even more so when I saw that you were lost in the crime novels I gifted you. I didn't think you would ever care to open it, but I'm happy you that you seemed to enjoy them. No matter what happens, even if you and Mycroft do nothing but bicker all throughout the day, I assure you that it will be a most lovely Christmas.
To know that you are absolutely sure of your emotional state is comforting. I am so proud of you, my Sherlock. There are times when I need a moment to take it all in. You and I have conquered so many obstacles; the awful timing, repressed emotions and crazed villains. Our love has bloomed and grown with us. There are no secrets between us, we handle rows quite well with understanding and compromise, and we love each other so much. We are both committed to one another. There is not a day without giving affection regardless of how tough things get.
I will love you always. With all my heart,
Molly xxx
