Summary
John wakes to an empty bed and the threat of more severe derealisation that he’s felt since Sherlock’s return. He inhales possibility as he rises and waits in front of his door, afraid to see what’s outside. There could be dinosaurs out there, or an empty flat. Sherlock could be hanging from the rafters or sleeping naked on the settee. John lingers in the not knowing, letting his mind leave him until it’s too much and he has to do anything to ground himself.

Summary
A lot of life was making decisions. There had been hard decisions from early on, and she knew that there were times when she chose wrong. There were things she gave up and then missed, and things she pursued and then didn’t enjoy.

Summary
The door makes a sound as it opens, which means that John’s meant to know that he isn’t alone anymore. It can’t have been more than an hour since the violin stopped screeching and let him sleep, so he’s not here in the room so much as here in the bed, which is warm. The door woke him, but the cool air on his face orients him, and he groans.
--Sherlock has been back for two months, and John is still angry.

Summary
Kate smiles at him. “You’re free to leave,” she says, then nods her head at Sawyer. “So is he.”
Jack thinks he knows what she’s getting at, but his brain can’t quite catch up with it and he’s helpless to do anything but let out a breathy laugh at how utterly impossible this seems.
“Come on now, Freckles,” Sawyer says, “Give the man a minute to process.”

It's a fair trade. Or maybe rough trade. Well, some kind of trade, anyway.

Summary
Both Holmes and I had a weakness for the Turkish bath. It was over a smoke in the pleasant lassitude of the drying-room that I have found him less reticent and more human than anywhere else. On the upper floor of the Northumberland Avenue establishment there is an isolated corner where two couches lie side by side...
- The Illustrious Client (1924)
“But why Turkish?” asked Mr. Sherlock Holmes. [...] "Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home-made article?”
- Lady Frances Carfax (1911)
There are good reasons.
