Holmes hadn't meant to resurface so soon, but she had heard what had become of the Mrs, of her sudden illness, and she immediately knew that the poor wife did not have long. Though she and Mary never expressed a fondness for each other, she had come to respect and appreciate the woman in the only way Holmes could.
And, what if Mary suddenly died tomorrow? She'd already caused her friend much suffering and it wasn't right to leave him alone at this time.]

[Nope she's not smiling. Well, she is smiling a tiny bit, sitting up at the presence of her friend. Mary's file. John's limp. Gladstone tottering behind him. He looks so much older than when she last saw him, more creases in his brow, around his eyes. Her eyes flick from Mary's file back to Watson, then to the manuscript in her hands.]
"My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of her own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with her whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among her old books, and alternating from week to week between nicotine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of her own keen nature." [She finally adjusts the papers, setting them right before placing them in the box.] I might wonder what London will think of me after you've gotten this published. Not entirely accurate. I'm somewhat ( ... )

She had business to tend to. But that wasn't the half of it. She lets him yell at her, not even wincing, face as calm as can be, save for the slight wrinkle in her smooth brow.] My older brother was the only one who know. He tended to my things and kept a distant eye on you for me.
[Of course he went looking for her. She couldn't have stopped it, not Watson, not with his determination and endless loyalty. She hardly flinches when he slams his hands on the table, but keeps her gaze fixed on him. Oh, the manuscripts. She'd already read them once through.] Because one of Moriarty's men knew I survived the fall, Watson. I climbed down the rocks and he tried - in vain, mind you - to finish the job ( ... )

But his lips pursed together at the bit about Mycroft, about the men that were after her. There was always someone after her, he didn't matter, they were always after her. If anything, he could have helped, like he always had, instead of being in this agony.] And-and, what, with your skill and sheer madness that took you less then a month? Assuming you didn't sustain any injuries from that hellish fall nor the mercenaries, the traveling or even the weather.
[Watson was always in danger when she was ( ... )

As for her own memorial, vanity brought her to the crowd and she, dressed as an elderly woman, listened among the crowd. She hadn't the nerve to approach him then, merely leaving as soon as the ceremony as over. Only Mycroft saw her leave.
No plan is perfect, not even a plan Holmes could contrive. Sacrifices had to be made. But she knows that he needs her now, now that Mary is on the brink of death. He cannot be alone, not while she continues to live and breathe.]
Well, Watson, one must do what one can under limited circumstances. [She smirks and lets him apply the cream, elongating her slender neck.] Other than this burn, I'm fine. Honestly. It is the right moment.
