INT. 221B BAKER STREET. DAY

SHERLOCK and JOHN are being platonic friends opposite each other in their chairs. Their feet are touching a little bit but it’s not homo. JOHN is on his phone browsing a dating website only for heterosexuals looking for other heterosexuals. SHERLOCK is looking intently at a picture in a book entitled “SEXY FROGS”.
