I put the cookies on a nice plate and waited for Sherlock to come back upstairs.

John was to my knowledge tending to Rosie in the living-room and I sat tapping my fingers against the table wondering about how I could ask what I had to ask.

{'So... I met someone named Janine today... .... No that's not the way to go...

'I was wondering if you had any girlfriends while I was gone? Nope.

'Does the name Janine Hawkins mean anything to you!? No too accusatory.} 

Damn it! I bet miss perfect would know what to say... I thought to myself as I glared at the woman's face on newspaper in my hand.

"Hey Keyland doing some reading?" Sherlock asked, as he took a cookie off the plate smiling.

I ripped the paper off the table. Holding it down at my side, toward the living room.

"Yup!" I exclaimed my voice cracking.

I heard a noise like John shifting in hie chair and looked over to him with a panicked look in my eyes. He caught my look then looked down at my newspaper, his eyes widening.

Sherlock looked at me suspiciously. His eyes darting over to the paper.

"Is it Moriarty?" He asked slowly making his way around the table.

"NO!" I exclaim, too quickly and loudly. 

Sherlock's eyes widen, as I stand abruptly holding the paper behind my back and backing up to the wall. His eyes flash determination and he reaches around behind me grabbing the newspaper and pulling. I tighten my grip and the paper rips behind my back as Sherlock brings his arm up to eye level.

"Sherlock please." I beg grabbing onto his arm.

His eyes hold mine, then he glances at the paper.

"He made me wear the Hat..."Sherlock reads his face growing red. "Who gave you this?"

"Is it true?" I mumble.

"What?" Sherlock sputters. 

"Is it true... What she said... Is it true?" 

"Keyland I didn't ... I Wouldn't... Can we go somewhere private to talk about this?" Sherlock says casting a look at John in the living room. 

My heart hammered in my throat... 

"Yeah..." I replied softly as Sherlock lead me to his room. He closed the door with a heavy sigh.

"Keyland I only proposed to her for a case."He states as he runs his hand through his black curls. 

"You proposed?!" I gasp.

"Oh! So you didn't know about that?"

"No Sherlock I didn't know that! Is there anything else you'd like to enlighten me in?"

"Well, I'm smarter than to mention the Woman." Sherlock mutters sarcastically. 

"The Woman what woman?"

Sherlock's face went white, I charged past him opened the door and went out to see John where he sat in his chair on his computer.

"John?" I asked.

"Hmm?"

"Who is the woman?"

"What woman? Do you mean Irene Adler?" John asks as he looks to Sherlock for context. Sherlock makes faces at John from the doorway of the kitchen. 

"Irene Adler..." I mutter to myself as I type into my phone.

My jaw drops and my phone slips out of my hand.

"Keyland it's not what you think!" Sherlock says bursting out of the kitchen.

"You have no idea what I'm thinking right now." I seethe.

"She never... I never ... Keyland!"

"Forget it!" I say hot tears running down my face as I rush down the stairs. I rush out of the house slipping on my shoes and running out the door. I hear footsteps behind me but I do not turn around.

"Keyland I didn't sleep with her! I was saving myself for y- Marriage! " Sherlock exclaims as I run my feet pounding on the ground.
