Wishful Thinking
Just a random Holmes drabble.
“I should be glad of your company on this case,” he says, yet forbids publication.
When clients arrive before I do he bids them wait, that he might impress us both with his deductions.
After cases he delights in providing me with fresh examples of his genius.
He shares my amusement, tolerates my advice and seeks my company as he does no one else’s. He is my greatest and my dearest friend.
I read in his actions that which can not be; I see it there because I wish it to be true. It is the lie that sustains me.
