Sherlock firmly held my hand as we walked down the snowy lane.

The snow glittered as it fell to the ground and the air was still and calm. Or it would be if it we weren't in London. Cars swooshed by us and turned the clean white snow black. As black as Sherlock's hair, and mine too. As I admire him he turns to look at me.

"What are you looking at?" He smiled.

"The man I love." I admitted, surprising even myself. 

Sherlock stops walking.

"You... you love..." He blinks.

"You idiot you are just figuring this out now?!" I exclaim. 

"What...I ... well Keyland... You are a great girl don't get me wrong. But you see...." Sherlock stammers.

I didn't like where this was going so I quickly burst out...

"Don't mention this lets just pretend this never....Come on I'm starving..."

"But you..." Sherlock said confusedly. 

"Ginger beef! I'd kill for some ginger beef right now!" I exclaimed, walking double time towards the restaurant. My face a bright cherry red. Sherlock gazed after me and finally shook himself and walked over to join me.

Twenty minutes later. We walked into 221b again and headed upstairs to eat.

"Hey guys Mrs. Hudson and Rosie are in bed now. Mrs. H said to say goodnight to you Keyland." John greets us, taking the takeout box from me.

"Thanks John, Ginger beef?" I ask pointing at the correct box.

"No thanks I'll just have some chop suey." John replies.

"Your loss..." I sigh.

I tried not to meet Sherlock's eyes. We ate dinner in near complete silence. With only the occasional remark from John to keep the awkwardness at bay. Finally we got to our fortune cookies.

John cracked his open only to make a delighted noise.

"Look! My cookie has a gummy bear in it!" He grinned.  

My face went white.

"Excuse me, I'm really tired. Goodnight." I said standing.

"Oh okay Goodnight." John said his face falling. 

"Goodnight Keyland." Sherlock barked from his seat at the table. 

I nodded once and headed downstairs. It wasn't until I closed the door of Mrs. Hudson's guest room that I admitted to myself.

'He found me.'
