Only two more?!

[mariole]

Yeah. That's all I'd imagined. In fact, I didn't expect it to become this long. But it was nice to give the thought some room.

[englishmann]

Aww, okay. Can't wait for the next bit.

Thanks.

[mariole]

I'm sorry. It was always going to be brutal.

Way to be gentle there Sally- that's going to haunt her for a while (and I doubt finding out Sherlock is alive later will endear the man to her, yikes!).

Poor John. Good thing we all know Sherlock's alive or there'd be a heck of an outcry. Please don't keep the poor man hanging as long as Conan Doyle did- 3 years! Agh!

Well, I've got to bring Sherlock back before Season 2 gets underway, because Moffat and Gatiss will already have crossed this bridge. Can you imagine what the original Holmes fans went through? No wonder they wrote letters!

Great idea for a sequel-- Sally meets the "resurrected" Holmes. That would be one memorable scene. Thanks for commenting!

I'm crying at work too, only I didn't come in early, so all I can do is hope nobody comes into my cubby until I quit sniffling. (That, and sniffle quietly.)

I'm really enjoying this (mostly; except when I'm crying *g*). It's a good story, it's well written, and I think you have the guys (and lady) beautifully in character. Thanks for sharing--I can't wait for the next part!

Thank you, Melody! I hope none of your coworkers busted you. I am enjoying writing this story. It's a relief to share my Sherlock enthusiasm with sympathetic souls. Cheers.
