Summary
An established-relationship story.
"If you will not have a care for your own sake, you might think of me," I finished, rather angrily. "You will break your health and shorten your life."
"My dear Watson," he said, "that line of argument will not serve. One of my greatest comforts in life is the moral certainty that I will predecease you. You will do without me a deal better than I should without you."
It was such a dreadful thing to say that for a few moments I sat speechless in my chair.

Summary
It takes a near miss for Holmes to realize that he cannot imagine his life without Watson.
“You found me,” I said softly, gratefully. “You came back for me.” It was all I could say, and I repeated it quietly to myself as Holmes began to ease me to my feet.“I’ll always come back for you, Watson,” he said, his voice beginning to return to the tone of cool interest which was its usual character. “I am only sorry it took such a very long time.” An embarrassed melancholy touched his features, and I hated to see it.

Summary
Watson is slowly but surely recuperating after the capture of Killer Evans in Mr. Nathan Garrideb's cellar - which came right on the heels of the harrowing experience he and Holmes shared on the Dutch steamship Friesland.
As relieved as Watson is to have come out of those incidents relatively unscathed, he comes to recognise his relationship with Holmes is strained for mysterious reasons.
When Holmes abruptly decides to end their partnership and ask him to leave 221b, a devastated Watson must pick himself up from the rubble of his life and come up with a new plan for his bleak, Holmesless future.
But he can't stop himself from wondering about the real reason has Holmes abandoned him. Why now? Whatever did he do to deserve such treatment from his trusted partner — not to mention the great love of his life and his closest companion?
