Character(s): Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Inspector Lestrade
Summary: Holmes almost does not notice the change.
Warnings: Blink-and-you-miss-it spoilers for SIXN.
Word Count: 60, plus an extended-play version (100 words)
Author's Notes: 60 words of my own inspired by one of the canon stories.
Disclaimer: I don't own them.
SIXN – Continental Drift
The first time Lestrade came to 221B and stayed for more than just a discussion of a vexing case, I attributed it to Watson and his knack for congeniality. The second was a bitter evening, and the Inspector still had not thawed from the first journey.
It was not until the third incident that I realized I enjoyed his visits.
Extended-play version: 100 words
The change was so gradual even I almost failed to notice it.

The second occurred on a bitter evening, and the Inspector still had not thawed from the first journey. It was only natural to extend him the hospitality of fire, tea, and some of Mrs. Hudson’s excellent fare.
It was not until the third incident that I realized I no longer merely tolerated his visits – I looked forward to them.
