"Or we could remind ourselves that we have all week to see the cathedral?" she suggested with a grin. Usually out of the two of them, Molly was the one who was better with self-discipline, but they were on holiday after all. It was a time to indulge, have a lie in, eat the gelato, drink the wine, etc. etc.

She turned from looking up at Sherlock and caught a glimpse of the water in the distance ahead. Molly always had a love for the water. Maybe it was from growing up so near the ocean, but she always felt most at home and at peace near water - whether just walking nearby or in a boat or swimming. When she didn't have such a hectic work schedule, she used to try to get to the community pool nearest her flat a couple times a week to swim laps. Sometimes she thought about starting to go again, but hadn't made it there yet.

"You know, it just occurred to me that I have no idea whether you like to swim or not."

That would probably seem quite the odd, out-of-the-blue question to most people, but she knew that her genius not-boyfriend would probably follow her unspoken line of thought without batting an eye.
