I Spy With My Little Eye

Mary: John, what are we doing here?

John: Shh, there! Look!

Mary: *looks through shrubs and bushes* Oh! It's Sherlock. You're spying on Sherlock?

John: I was afraid he was using again.

Mary: *grimaces*

John: He's not. Take a look at who's sitting next to him.

Mary: *smirks* Ah, I see her now.

John: He's been disappearing every day around this time for nearly a month so last week I started following him.

Mary: And, he's been coming to this park to have lunch with Molly?

John: *nods* But, he never says anything. He just sits there. Molly eats, reads and sometimes talks, but he never does anything. Then, she just gets up and goes back inside when she's done.

Mary: *frowns* Okay, that's weird.

John: *exasperated* Yes! He just walks up, sits down and stares straight ahead. For an hour!

Mary: Is this a 'mind palace' thing?

John: *shrugs* Dunno.

-STARTS RAINING-

Mary: Oh, I'm getting wet. Let's go!

John: Molly's getting up too... She's going inside but- look! He just grabbed her arm! *audible gasp from Molly*

Mary: What? *looks*

John: BLOODY HELL! Where'd he learn to kiss like that?

Mary: Oh!... Oh my... *giggles*

John: *smiles and chuckles* Took him long enough to get to it!

Mary: *impressed* Now, that's how you kiss a woman!

John: Guess he was just working up the nerve to do it. *still gobsmacked*

Mary: Okay, now let's go. I'm getting soaked. And, you don't need to be a creeper anymore.

John: *in awe* It's like they don't need air at all...

Mary: *drags John away* Time to go, dearest!

John: *gleefully* They don't even notice it's raining!

Mary: No, they definitely don't *pats him on the back as they leave*

John: *permanent goofy grin*
