It's something he's learned from John, and that Mary had a substantial hand in teaching him as well: people like to know that Sherlock thinks of them when they aren't right in front of him. (Well, they like that when anyone does it, but he's a special case because he's an oblivious bastard.) And not only that, but... there's a kind of smug pleasure in anticipating how pleased she'll be. Before Saturday he hadn't seen Molly happy, or at least not the way she is now, and he's the first person who's brought that out in her and that has the same ring of triumph to it as a case well solved.
