Author's Notes: Yes, okay, it's another drabble rather than 60 words. It just would not be shortened.


When I conceived the plan, I knew that persuading Watson would be the trickiest part. After the Milverton incident, he had sworn never to engage in house-breaking again, and although that had been several years ago, I suspected that he would hold firm to that.

When he agreed, I looked at his face and saw that it was not just his patriotism that had swayed him, but also his inability to let me go into harm's way alone. A powerful emotion passed through me, one that only Watson has ever inspired, and which I have never known how to express.

Thank you! And, well, as it turned out, he didn't need to express them, because Watson already knew.
