The tension coiled tighter with every step Sherlock took up the staircase, your pleas for a more neutral location falling on deaf ears.

Sherlock stood just inside the doorway, utterly still, his keen mind racing to process this unexpected, primal variable. You rushed in behind him, your breath catching in the silent war of wills between the territorial feline and the unyielding detective.
