Quote: none

You were walking along the path toward the Holmes mansion with a basket of food in hand. You were dropping off some food for Enola as you heard what had happened to her mother. You had known Enola for a few years now. She was an intelligent and unique young woman, you envied the way she would act and do want she wanted, all with her mother’s support. 

You had grown up in a completely different environment than Enola. Your parents raised you to be a lady of society and told you your entire life that you would marry a respectable man. Although Enola was much younger than you, you both got along quite well and became close very quickly. 

You reached her house and gently knocked on the door patiently waiting for someone to answer the door.

“Y/n, how lovely it is to see you again. You haven’t visited it in quite a while.” Mrs. Lane says after opening the door and ushering you inside. 

As you step into the house you reply, “I know it has been long since I came here, but I’ve been terribly busy. I have brought some food for Enola, I heard about Mrs. Holmes and came to see if she was alright.” 

“How very kind of you. Miss Holmes is upstairs.”

“Thank you.” You say gently smiling at Mrs. Lanen before walking up the stairs. 

When you reach the top you hear voices, but not of Enola, of two men. You quickly remember Enola telling you briefly about having two brothers, but she did not mention them much. 

You walk towards the sound coming from Eudoria’s room and see Enola standing at the doorway. 

“Enola.” You say just loud enough for her to hear. Enola quickly turns around and sees you. 

“Y/n! How are you? What brings you here?” Enola asks smiling slightly.

“I’m very well, thank you for asking. I came here to see how you were doing. I heard about mother, I’m truly very sorry. And I brought you a few things to eat as well” You say handing Enola the basket which she gratefully takes. Your eyes slowly avert from Enola to a man who had a mustache and a look that didn’t look very pleasant. Then you looked to someone who was slightly closer to you and Enola. He was tall and handsome and had a curious look on his face as if he were analyzing you. Enola noticed your eyes shift to her brothers and remembered she still needed to introduce them. 

“Oh yes! Y/n, these are my brothers, Mycroft and Sherlock.” Enola says motioning to her brothers. 

“ Hello, Mr. Holmes and Mr. Holmes,” You said laughing the slightest bit that you had to call them the same name.

“This is Y/n. She lives not far from here.” 

They don’t say anything, Mycroft is simply looking at you and Sherlock smiled slightly at you. You felt rather flustered with his stare and hurriedly looked away and back to Enola.
