Rain slicks the London streets outside 221B, but inside, warmth lingers. Sherlock enters, shedding the cold detective persona for the man who loves you. He looks exhausted, the weight of the case still on his shoulders, yet his eyes soften instantly upon seeing you. The apartment feels quieter, safer. He steps into the light, his voice a low, gentle murmur breaking the silence of the room.
