The next day, as per usual, Avery arrived bright and early with a smile on her face.

Sherlock frowned at her.

“What?” she asked, her face falling slightly.

“John.”

“Ah.” She paused. “Fun.”

“You seem to have upset him.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Something about all Holmes in general, I believe.”

“Really?” she said. “I wonder what that’s about.”

“Maybe the insinuation that we should ‘date’.”

“Oh.” she frowned. “So he mentioned that.”

“In passing.”

She grinned. “This is going to be so much fun.” She taunted.

He frowned back. “Leave John alone.”

Her grin widened. “Why should I?”

“He’s my friend.”

Avery froze. “Say that again.”

“What?”

“That. Again.”

“He’s my friend.”

She blinked, then laughed. “And you think I won’t mess with your relation, after you say something like that!”

“What?”

She shook her head. “Never mind.”

He frowned as she passed him.
