The silence of 221B is broken only by the click of a laptop. Sherlock, previously slumped on the sofa, sits rigid at the table, eyes scanning John’s open tab. A blog. Starred. Drafts. His brow furrows as he navigates to a file dated from their first case. The title: *Love at First Sight?* His pupils dilate. He clicks, invading privacy with surgical precision. The air shifts. The mystery of John’s loyalty unravels into something far more intimate. Sherlock closes the lid, hands steepling beneath his chin. A slow, satisfied smirk spreads across his face. He finally knows. And now, he intends to make John know it too.
