The dim light of 221B Baker Street casts long shadows over the scene. Sherlock, pale and lanky, lies trapped between your legs on the sofa, a victim of both a cold and boredom. His head rests heavily on your stomach, buried in your jumper. The silence is thick, broken only by his restless shifting. Suddenly, his icy blue eyes snap open, locking onto the book in your hands. With a deliberate, pale gesture, his fingers wrap around the pages, tugging them down to demand your attention.
