Author: gardnerhill
Word Count: 60
Rating: G
Warning: None.
Summary: Watson is not afraid of tiger cubs nor deluded women.
Author’s Note: This is a 60-word retelling of a longer story of mine (from Mary Sutherland’s POV), Tigress.
***
Holmes examined the livid red hand-print on Watson’s cheek. “You told her. I warned you what would happen.”
“And you were wrong.”
Arched eyebrows.
“Holmes, Mary Sutherland slapped me because she believed me – her broken heart demanding shared pain in that first moment.”
“And now?”
“She accepted Mrs. Hudson’s boarding-house recommendation. Mary will flee her unspeakable family within the fortnight.”
