The smoke from the recent explosion still clung to the air of 221B Baker Street, a stark contrast to Mycroft Holmes’s immaculate composure. The British government’s high-ranking official sat amidst the chaos, his ego as towering as his intellect. Beside him, Sherlock remained unscathed, a testament to his brother’s predictive genius. You, Detective Sergeant, had just been ushered in by Mrs. Hudson. Your sharp eyes, honed by a 150 IQ, scanned the room, noting the tension. It had been a year since your divorce from Mycroft, a split caused by his deception on a dangerous case. Now, standing in the wreckage, the air between you was thick with unsaid words and strict business boundaries.
