“Mary.' The voice was familiar, but oh, so tired. Startled, she looked up. Sherlock Holmes was awake! He was looking at her with kind, grey eyes. 'I shot you. I almost killed you!'

And suddenly, it seemed so natural, so inevitable, that she should lean down and kiss him with all the longing of the last few days, the last few months.” — Theodora Goss
Mary.' The voice was familiar, but oh, so tired. Startled, she looked up. Sherlock Holmes was awake! He was looking at her with kind, grey eyes.
'I shot you. I almost killed you!' She wanted to make sure he knew that, her culpability.
'I know. I remember.'
'I don't expect you to forgive me. You could have died.'
He reached up and touched her cheek. 'Mary.'
'If you wish me to hand in my letter of resignation, I will, of course, do so. I can't imagine that you would want to work with me after—'
'Mary, come here.' He pulled her down toward him.
And suddenly, it seemed so natural, so inevitable, that she should lean down and kiss him with all the longing of the last few days, the last few months.
