Saint Sherlock:
Hi.
Jane Doe:
Sherlock.
Saint Sherlock:
Uhm, so, comment ca va?
Jane Doe:
Ca va bien.
You?
Saint Sherlock:
That's good.
So...
long time no talk?
Jane Doe:
Yeah.
I've been busy.
Saint Sherlock:
Hey
I don't want this to be awkward
so if it makes you feel better,
just forget what I said last time
Jane Doe:
What do you mean?
Saint Sherlock:
It's obvious that I made you uncomfortable
when I told you that I like you
Don't overthink
Just forget it happened
Jane Doe:
Huh?
Are you sure?
And Holmes,
I'm not really uncomfortable.
I've been busy, tbh.
Haven't you seen the tabloids?
I really don't mind. I find it flattering that
the youngest Le Blanc has the hots for me ;)
Saint Sherlock:
Seriously?
But why do you talk like this?
And what about the tabloids?
Jane Doe:
You mean the short replies?
Wait.
I'll tell you about it in a moment.
My Jane Doe is calling you.
You missed a call from My Jane Doe.
My Jane Doe is calling you.
You missed a call from My Jane Doe.
Jane Doe:
Uh, why aren't you
answering the phone?
Saint Sherlock:
Why are you calling
Oh no
Just non
Don't call
Jane Doe:
And why not?
I mean, I can't text much
since Dad and I are having a
campfire and my hands are filled
with melted marshmallows
Saint Sherlock:
I'd pay to see that
But don't call
Seriously
I'm nervous
Jane Doe:
What?
Why is that?
Saint Sherlock:
Because the girl I like is calling me
Jesus, that's grade school
Why don't you know it
