1923

It was the story of the close of two careers – one ending in disgrace, the other retirement. It was also a tale of two men ignoring the treasures they had in favor of ephemeral desires.

Twenty years later, watching his Watson drowsing in their Sussex sitting-room, Holmes mused that he would not trade places with that younger self for anything.

Aww, retirement love! My favourite kind. Even though I went for the angst this week.

Thanks! I wallowed in angst earlier this week in my drabbles, so I felt the need for some positive here. :-)
