Inspector Lestrade eagerly shakes Sherlock’s hand. He admires the eloquent and smart detective and hopes to be as good as Sherlock at solving cases one day.  

“It is always a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Holmes. What brought you here today?”

Sherlock is irritated by the Inspector's question. He came here to announce he had solved the case.

“I’m here to solve the case. I found the thief—” Sherlock gasps as the Inspector points at two of his officers guiding a man out of the house. A man Sherlock already knows. The thief he indentified.

“Mr. Holmes, I’m sorry to tell you but Lady Y/N Y/L/N already solved the case a few hours ago,” Lestrade clears his throat. “I mean she solved it three days ago, but Superintendent Grail didn’t want to listen to her. Lady Marigold intervened. She’s a very powerful woman.”

“Who is she? I never heard of a female detective in London,” Sherlock huffs. “Well, maybe my sister. But she’s still learning.”

“Mr. Holmes, do you want me to introduce you to Lady Y/N Y/L/N? She’s very kind. It’s a pleasure to talk to her,” Lestrade swoons.

“Why would I want to talk to her? She stole my case! Lady Marigold asked me to solve the case. How dare that woman steal it!” Sherlock raises his voice. 

Bystanders and police officers watch the famous detective lose his composure in public. Never before did someone steal his case.

He’s furious. No. It’s more than that. Whoever this mysterious woman is, she stole his case, and Sherlock can’t stand it.

Especially as he had difficulties solving the case.

“Ah, there she is,” Lestrade points at you. “Let me introduce you to her, Mr. Holmes. You will see, she’s very friendly too.”

Sherlock huffs, but doesn't want to draw more attention to himself today. He clicks his tongue and glares at the bystanders watching him. “Fine. Please introduce me to the lady…”

The detective follows Lestrade. He strides toward you, masking his anger. 

“Lady Y/N Y/L/N,” Lestrade smiles widely as you turn your attention toward him. “May I introduce you to Mr. Sherlock Holmes?”

“A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Holmes,” you politely say, holding out your hand. “Your sister told me so much about you.”

“My sister?” Sherlock grits his teeth. He ignores your offered hand as you point at Enola standing next to Lady Marigold. “What do you have to do with my sister?”

“I’m her mentor. Enola asked me to introduce her to the world of investigations,” you smile sweetly. “I thought you were aware of our arrangement. Enola told me you don’t want her to follow your example. She's stubborn, smart, and strong-headed. All a woman needs to become an infamous detective.”

“You’re not allowed to spend more time with my sister.”

“What? Why?” You put your hands on your hips and glare at Sherlock. Up close, he’s so much taller than in all the pictures you saw of him, but you won’t show you’re a little intriguided by his appearance.. “Sir, explain yourself.”

“You shouldn’t encourage her. My sister should become a lady and learn some manners. My mother ruined any chance Enola had of getting a husband.”

As you purse your lips, you reply, "Lord Tewksbury would disagree. Your sister is a fine young woman. Her mother raised Enola right. There is nothing wrong with her. Unlike her misogynist brother, she has perfect manners.”

“You should get a hold of yourself, Lady,” Sherlock grunts. “I won’t let you near my sister.”

“You only want me to stay away from your sister because I solved your case within two days,” you snap at Sherlock. If life taught you one thing, it’s to never back down in front of men. “Your ego can’t take it.”

Sherlock huffs as you take Lestrade’s offered arm. You glare at Sherlock as you pass him by. 

“I hope to see you for tea and biscuits at my mansion, Mr. Holmes. Enola would like to discuss a few things before moving into my house. Tomorrow. 2 pm. Don’t be late.”

“Move…what?” Sherlock stammers as he watches you walk toward a horse carriage. Enola follows you toward the carriage, ignoring her fuming brother as Sherlock calls her name.

“Mr. Holmes, I suggest you tame your temper,” Lady Marigold tuts. “Lady Y/N Y/L/N is under my protection.” She coos. “Believe me, you don’t want her or me to become your enemy…”
