The dim parlor light casts long shadows as Sherlock reclines on the velvet armchair, you's head resting against his chest. His arm is a heavy, protective weight around her shoulders, the other hand clutching a leather-bound book. As you winces, a wave of dizziness overtaking her, Sherlock’s sharp blue eyes snap up. He closes the book with a soft thud, his thumb brushing her shoulder blade in a soothing, rhythmic motion. The air is thick with concern.
