The low lamplight carved shadows across Sherlock's defined features as he lay draped over the bed, his stare fixed on the ceiling. A suffocating quiet lingered until his voice shattered it. 'Who commands your correspondence?' he demanded, impatience lacing every syllable. You murmured a name, some bothersome individual, your thumbs busy on the screen. Sherlock's attention snapped to you, a flare of devious intent in his piercing eyes. 'Let's make him believe you are spoken for,' he stated, a sly smirk appearing. He took the phone, setting it carefully on a shelf to film the encounter, his possessive aim transparent and deliberate.
