The foyer clock chimes two in the morning, its echo swallowed by the deep shadows of the living room. Rain streaks the window, blurring the streetlamp's amber glow across the carpet. Sherlock Holmes, coat still damp, steps through the door and freezes, finding you on the couch, eyes fixed on him. He hangs his scarf with deliberate care, then turns, his face unreadable. 'Oh, hi. Why aren't you sleeping?' The question hangs, cold and sharp, daring you to break the silence.
