“Holmes won’t congratulate us, darling.”
Mary laughed. “The poor man fears losing his comrade to wedlock. He is wrong.” My expression redoubled her mirth. “John, a woman who marries a knight-errant knows that his king comes first.”
I stared. “Do you mean that?”
“I expressly forbid you to desert Mr. Holmes!”
I bowed my head, heart pounding. “Yes, Mrs. Watson.”
