Sherlock slammed his hand down on the table.

"What do you mean I need a new roommate?!" He shouted, Mrs. Hudson jumped.

"I don't like how you are when you are alone!" Mrs. Hudson shouted, hands on her hips.

"Fine I'll look." Sherlock said dismissively. 

"That's all I ask dear." She said fondly patting Sherlock's arm. She went to leave the room but stopped in the doorway. She turned back to face Sherlock.

"You know dear, we all miss Keyland." Sherlock went to say something but Mrs. H held her hand up.

"We all miss her, but she is not coming back Sherlock. You need to move on."

Sherlock stood up and grabbed his coat.

"I never want to hear her name mentioned again!" He shouted marching past Mrs. H and leaving the flat.

Sherlock stamped angrily through the beautiful green park. The sun had just rose casting a pink shade over the tall trees. Sherlock wasn't looking where he was going, and ploughed right into his old friend Mike Stamford.

"Oi mate watch where you are -" The man cried.  "Sherlock?"

"Hello Mike." Sherlock said crossly.

"Sherlock Holmes! Its been an age. How is Keyland, have you proposed yet?" Mike said wiggling his eyebrows.

"I did but...She left." Sherlock said looking down at his shoes.

"Oh!... I'm sorry mate, come on I know just the cure." Mike said walking purposefully. Sherlock sighed heavily and followed his friend.

They walked into an ice-cream parlor much to Sherlock's distaste.

"We will have 2 double chocolate cones." Mike said importantly.

"Mike I'm not a child." Sherlock scoffed.

Mike bit his tongue.

They got their ice cream and sat down at the table.

"What happened mate, Why did she leave?" Mike wanted to know.

"I really don't want to talk about it." Sherlock snapped.

"Alright...Well, what else is new?" Mike said awkwardly.

"I need a new flatmate. But I've been looking everywhere. I must be a difficult man to find a flatmate for." Sherlock groused. 

"Yeah I can see that mate..." Mike laughed.

Sherlock glared at him.

"Tell you what Sherlock, if i meet anyone who needs a flatmate I'll tell em about you eh?" Mike smiled.

"I'd appreciate that Mike." Sherlock said licking his ice-cream cone.
