John entered into the flat, the familiar sound of a violin playing filling his ears. He slightly recognized the tune but couldn't put his finger on it. He entered the living room and saw Sherlock standing in front of the window with her back towards him, a thick blue blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

Sherlock had not left the flat since John had taken her to the movies to see 'Furious 7'. Apparently it had made her wary of automobiles.

John quietly stayed leaning against the doorframe, careful not to alert Sherlock of his presence. Sherlock seemed to be playing a song from Furious 7, singing to herself and she swayed from side to side.

"It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again" She sang softly, playing the rhythm of the song with her violin.

John noticed Sherlock had stopped swaying and her hand movements were less brisk, the song slowing with her wrist. John smiled, wiping away a small tear that had escaped his eye. Sherlock then continued to play but softly as if playing for herself. She then stopped and set down the violin next to her armchair.

John watched amusedly as Sherlock ruffled her hair, checked her teeth in the mirror and then straightened her robe before taking a deep breath. "John!" She called out loudly, still oblivious of John's presence.

"Yes?"

And that day, the police arrived at 221B because they heard the loudest scream erupt from the flat.
