Author's Note

A week after Sherlock Holmes takes John Watson's advice, he finds himself on the edge of his bed with the company of a puzzle that is Irene Adler. Through the window where the light enters and floods the room, lies the world that has never felt so distant for him. His senses were heightened but limited to what only matters to him at this shared fraction of time; with his walls down, he stays in bed and lets her win a new round of a new game they don't realize they started playing.
