“Well, he’s gone,” John said, resigned.
“Told you,” Avery said, not looking away from the TV. “He does that.”
“So what should we do?”
“What do you usually do?”
“Wait.”
“Let’s do that then. Wanna watch this?”
John looked towards the door, then sighed and sat in front of the tv.
“What are you watching?”
“I. Have. No idea.” She said. “It looks interesting though.” She stretched.
“You do that a lot.”
“What?”
“Stretch.”
“Oh, shh. It’s a habit.”
The show finished and Little Britain started.
“I like this show,” she said.
“Really? Sherlock hates it. He doesn’t understand comedy.”
“I wish you’d stop comparing me to my brother.”
“Oh, sorry.” He said abashed.
She smiled. “Doesn’t matter.”
They watched in silence, only making noise to laugh.
Afterwards they went out to lunch again. When they came back and Mrs Hudson told them that Sherlock still hasn’t returned, they started getting worried.
“Does he normally leave for this long?”
“Not without texting.”
“Hmm. I’d call Mycroft…but Sherlock would be insulted.” She sighed. “I’m worried. Worried, worried, worried. Very, very worried.” Then she shrugged. “Ah well. Nothing I can do.”
“Really? Can you do that?”
“What?”
“Just….stop being worried?”
She frowned at him. “I’m a Holmes. What do you think?”
