“Remind me once again why I have to go to this party,” Sherlock said, spitting the word like a curse, as he emerged from the bedroom and buttoned up his aubergine shirt. “We’ve already spent Christmas with those people.”

“Because Greg invited us and I promised we’d show up,” John replied and checked his hair in the mirror above the sink. He, too, was wearing a button-down shirt and a pair of jeans Sherlock was particularly fond of. That man aged like a fine wine. “Besides, I couldn’t stand the thought of falling asleep on the sofa by 10 pm. It’s New Year’s Eve, after all. I just want to go out and feel young again, for one night, Sherlock. Lately, all I’ve been thinking about is nappies and teething and if Rosie should’ve started to walk by now. Dear God, I just want one night off, just getting a little drunk and talk to adults about adult stuff and be a little reckless and silly. So, can you, just for this one night, have a few drinks with me and chat with people without complaining? For me?”
