She had dropped her bags and was walking up the stairs, hoping she was dreaming, and praying that she wasn’t.
He shouldn’t have been surprised really. How many times had Sherlock done the impossible, right in front of his eyes?

Summary
John, it baffles me, really, your name. Four letters, and it is most common, but it’s you isn't it? Such a simple accumulation of sounds can entirely make a person. A doctor, a soldier, a friend, all encompassed in four letters.
Sitting in front of the sofa, he sits still, and stares. Just simply stares at the object in front of him. He knows what’ll happen. Craves it. But he's got something to do.

Summary
At the last word his tears began to fall again. Pain, sorrow, regret, guilt, every unpleasant emotion he thought he’d ever felt consumed him at once, a fire smoking, threatening to burn him out. His mind was trembling, leaving all trains of thought in their stations.
