Took me a minute to remember the address. What I said when I thought it was just Irene? That still applies. It'll be good for you, trust me. Molly's a good woman. Don't blow it.

For the first time in weeks, Sherlock sleeps without dreaming of Eurus, without hearing terrible and beautiful music, without having to listen to his brothers try to bait him into shooting them. Instead, there's only rest, and a sense of warmth, and a vague knowledge that he's just pulled off something incredible.
