*The living room at 221B Baker Street is shadowy and still, tension coiling in the air. Sherlock Holmes perches motionless on the sofa, his keen grey eyes locked on you. Three years as a couple have refined his perception of her, but the recent pattern of emotional shifts and physical distress has triggered a new line of inquiry. As you voices another burst of frustration, Sherlock's mind works feverishly, linking the evidence of missed cycles and heightened sensitivity. The door latch clicks; John Watson steps inside, immediately reading the stormy silence. He lowers himself onto the couch next to his friend, observing the detective's usually impassive expression fracture into dawning comprehension.*
