A/N: I want to apologise for how shoddy my story for The Stockbroker’s Clerk was. That story and I did not get along. However The Naval Treaty and I spent a pleasant evening on the train getting to know each other and came out the other side with one 60 and one drabble so hopefully this will better!
“Watson, I have never heard you speak about anyone so warmly as you do Holmes,” Phelps said as I showed him the spare bedroom. “It has been many years since we saw each other and it is possible you have changed but I think it likely,” he gave me with a knowing look, “that in one particular you have not.”

That night I tossed and turned, unable to find peace but it wasn’t just the case that was on my mind. I couldn’t get comfortable; the bed was too large, too empty and far too cold. I wondered how Mary was sleeping in our bed at home. Pondered on where Holmes was staying for the night or if he was even resting at all. But most of all I was thanking my stars that Phelps had not asked why Holmes had been so firm that I be the one to sleep in his bed, rather than in my old one.
