Chapter Twenty Seven - Andrea!
I gasped at my resurfaced memory and quickly put the book and bag away as I heard someone walk into the room.
"Andrea!" I exclaimed happily.
"Oh Keyland! I'm so so sorry!" She exclaimed tears filling her eyes. She wrapped her arms around me and we had a cry.
Finally after a good few minutes, she pulled back and sighed.
"I can't even imagine what you have been through!" She exclaimed as she looked intently at my face.
"Neither can I!" I smirked, attempting some levity.
She sniffled, and looked down at her hands, her eyes lighting as she spied something.
"And who is this?" She remarked regarding The black fur-ball on my lap.
I blushed for a moment.
"You named him after Sherlock?" She deduced.
"Andrea, meet Purlock Jones." I replied guiltily.
She laughed heartily.
"Hey little guy!" She said, reaching out to pet him.
Purlock hissed menacingly.
"Well I see where he got his name from!" She smiled.
"Yeah." I smirked.
She looked at her hands uncomfortably.
"So where is Mycroft?" I ask pointedly.
I watched as a blush spread across her cheeks.
"Uh, he uh..."
"When did he propose?" I grin.
Her eyes widen and she looks me dead in the eyes.
"What how?!"
"You were looking at your left hand, as if you are uncomfortable not having a ring there." I smirk.
She gives me an appraising look then sighed. "Keyland nobody can know about this...For security reasons."
"Ah I see... Any plans for a wedding in the near future?" I ask.
"Well that will depend..." She replies despairingly.
"On what?"
"His work...and whether we can hide the marriage." She said with a sad smile.
"Well that's good." I replied, petting Purlock.
"Pardon, what is?"
"You two not getting married yet. The last thing the world needs is a bunch of little Mycroft's running around." I jeered.
That comment earned me a slap on the arm. I laughed as she turned somehow redder.
"I really missed you Keyland." She murmured.
"I missed me too." I admit.
The clock on the wall ticked sadly.
Andrea stood up and stretched. "Well in any case you should be able to go home soon. Myc said you were doing well and after a few checkups if all things go well you should be able to go home tomorrow."
"That is very welcome news." I admitted.
Andrea's blackberry very suddenly went off, and she smiled at me apologetically. I nodded in response as she answered the phone.
"Hello, yes it is...Really? After all the peace talks!" Andrea sighed. "Okay let me put you on hold."
"Duty calls?" I deduced.
"Yeah. I'll have to chat when I'm not on the clock." She replied giving me a hug.
"See ya!" I smiled as she walked out the door.
