Greg’s case is distressing
Summary:
“I’m sorry, Sherlock, but I think what you just said is that you’ve been catfishing a murderer online, pretending to be a couple, your brother and I, and now you want us to meet him? A murderer? As a couple!” The last few words are really quite loud, and Rosie makes a startled squeak in the kitchen.
Sherlock glares at him.
Greg takes a deep breath. “Sorry,” he says, automatically, then – “No – no! Not – not sorry, because – of all the things, Sherlock, that you have ever done, this is undeniably the most – the most utterly – I –”
He closes his eyes, fists clenched, and takes several deep breaths.
“Overlooking many, many other problems with this entire scenario –” he pauses and takes another breath, “– what on Earth makes you think that, as a couple, a detective and a – a – whatever he is –” he gestures wildly at Mycroft – “would put themselves online on a dating site?”
I’ve written twelve chapters so far with probably two more to write, and have now hit a mental block of just…really needing your comments and feedback before I can complete the story. I hope you guys enjoy this first chapter.
Thank you so much @alexaprilgarden and @mottlemoth for your encouragement and love with this. I adore you and am so grateful to you 💙
“She’s been married for at least ten years, but not happily. She’s had a string of lovers but none of them knew she was married.”
“Oh for God’s sake, if you’re just making this up
–”
“Her wedding ring. Ten years old at least. The rest of her jewellery has been regularly cleaned, but not her wedding ring. State of her marriage right there. The inside is shinier than the outside. That means it’s regularly removed
– the only polishing it gets is when she works it off her finger.”
Remembering the bright inner glint of gold when his wife had taken her rings off to clean the bathroom
The dull shine when they are on her finger
The sinking feeling. The knowledge that it’s happening again
