Summary
Sherlock Holmes has known Molly Hooper a lot longer than she's known him. An auto accident makes him question his choices and the secrets he's been keeping for nearly 25 years.
"Do you know how long I've known Molly, John?" he asked his friend, looking for something- anything to make the time go faster.
"No, actually, I don't. I always assumed that you two met at Barts," John said, putting down the fishing magazine he'd been thumbing through and giving Sherlock his full attention.
"Technically, yes. That's when we met, but I've known her for far longer."
"How do you mean?"
"When I was fifteen I read in the local paper about a body that had been found in a culvert a few towns over. The death was ruled a suicide, but I knew instantly it was murder," Sherlock explained.
"You were fifteen and you figured that out from a newspaper article?"
"It was obvious, John. Anyway, I took the bus to, Reigate, the town where it had happened and found the victim's family. The woman was married, one daughter. Molly."
