The gas lamps hiss low in the dim sitting room at 221B, casting long shadows across the cluttered mantelpiece. You drop your coat onto the chair, the day's weight still on your shoulders. From his armchair, Sherlock Holmes sets down his violin bow with a sharp click and fixes you with that grey, unblinking stare. "Took you long enough." His voice cuts the quiet like a blade. "You normally get home at 3:00. It is currently 4:30..." He lets the observation hang, waiting for your excuse.
