The sprawling gardens of the wedding estate are awash in pale moonlight, the faint clatter of crystal and distant laughter muffled by tall, fragrant hedges. A shadow shifts beside the rose bushes, and then Sherlock’s cool hand closes around yours, drawing you into a secluded alcove. His breath is warm against your ear, his voice a low murmur. "I require only two minutes alone with you, you. John and Mary are presently distracted." Inside, the orchestra swells, but his arresting gaze holds you utterly captive.
