Week 2, Day 2 | January 16th
Sherlock and I went to look at flats today. The first two we dismissed pretty quickly, they needed too much work after the storm. Sherlock actually broke the ceiling in one of them to prove a point to the one letting it flat out. I probably shouldn't have laughed but I did. Needless to say that we will not be invited back to anything that native owns. We didn't even go in to look at the second one. Another storm would have had it falling down around our feet, crushing in the process.
It was eerie looking around the third one. The main floor had an extremely similar layout to our flat at Baker Street. To see Sherlock standing there when... when my last memories of our old flat was when it was empty. When I believed Sherlock to be dead. I thought he'd never stand in front of the fireplace or have various body parts strewn about the kitchen for his experiments or hear him playing his violin in front of the windows. It's just...
Different. He's hasn't been dead to me in almost nine months now, we've been sharing a space in all that time too but there's something about him standing in that place that reminds me of those few weeks when there was nothing but empty echoes in London. I can still remember sitting in my chair, staring at his vacant one and thinking that he'd never sit there anymore. It'll take a while... to not have that sense of dread that he won't be there when I come home after work. But it's the one we've decided on taking. Not in bad shape and has enough bedrooms. Well, nearly enough. Sherlock and I will continue sharing but these days I get about as much sleep as he does.

[Get used to the idea that some day he'll go back and Baker Street will stand empty again for another two years.]
Besides, it isn't as if I haven't been living with you for the last four months or so.
