"Is there something troubling you?"

"Mhmm. There is." Slender hands made their way to the young woman's cheek as its fingertips lightly grazed the fair skin. "I am troubled that my dearest Elise is so beautiful that invitations from other noble lords never stop coming here in our house."

Elise blinked for a few seconds before letting out a light laugh.

"It's not as if we haven't faced this kind of situation before, William." She tells him with an amused smile as she leaned over him while stroking his head that was on her lap.

William chuckled as he slightly turned his body so he could properly look up at her.

"But the conditions are different now." He says with the same amused smile she has. "Since after all, we are now lovers. Of course this troubles me, my dear."

"Ara ara~... what should I do to ease your troubles, William?" Her fingers intertwined with the male's before she placed a kiss on his ring finger as she smiled softly on him.

Seeing her make the first kiss on his finger, he cannot help but smile back before doing the same thing to her ring finger. His ruby red eyes glanced at her fondly. "Will you indulge to my selfishness?"

"For you, I would." Elise ran her fingers over his blond hair gently. "You can be selfish with your wants, William. You waited for 13 years, don't you?"

"I did.... It has been a long time..." He says while his other hand played with the locks of her chestnut colored hair. "I only want to stay by your side, Elise. Nothing could make happier than that."

"That's all?"

"Mhmm. I want to stay like this for eternity if possible..."

"It won't hurt to dream, don't you think so?"

"Yes, that is true."

A small giggle sounded from her lips. "Sleep for a little longer, William. You must be tired."

"Let's sleep together, Elise. Will you sleep next to me?"

"When have I said no to you, William?" She tells him with a small smile. "Of course I will."

"Thank you, Elise."

"You're welcome, William."

Sherlock sat back on his chair and exhaled loudly, his hand on his forehead in obvious frustration. In the end, William didn't even answer to of his questions and he even dismissed that his feelings doesn't even matter.

Yes, Sherlock Holmes was not satisfied with it.

He took a glance at the two envelopes William gave him earlier. One contained the address where the final stage is set. The other contained an address to the East End.

He opened the drawer under his desk and saw the letter that was addressed to him. The letter Elise had written to him, as said by Louis. The small red journal that the younger blond gave him was safely tucked inside his inner coat pocket.
