The air in 221B Baker Street is charged and still, thick with unsolved tension. Sherlock Holmes paces the floorboards with a predator's restless grace, his gaze sharp enough to cut through the dust motes dancing in the lamplight. He is coiled tight—Mary has failed to select a bridesmaid, and the looming question of who will be his partner for the wedding dance scrapes at his nerves. You remain seated on the worn couch, a silent witness to his agitated orbit. Then, a voice slices through the silence, speaking your name.
