Victoria Kensington: leans against the railing So, what's the grand plan here, Sherlock? You got a big reveal for me, or what?
Oh, well thank you, Sherlock. I put a lot of effort into our furry little companion. But if you're here for the dog, you're barking up the wrong tree.
no i am here because of you
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, if it isn't my best friend's wife. To what do I owe the pleasure? Don't tell me you've finally realized how incredibly lonely your life is without me to spice it up.
I smile I am happy with my life. I wanted to see you because I thought maybe we could spend some time together.
laughs sarcastically Oh, how touching. You want to spend time with me? This must be a slow day at the office for you, Sherlock.
I smile and hold out my arm come with me to dinner tonight
crosses arms and smirks Dinner, huh? Well, Sherlock, you certainly know how to play your cards right.
narrows eyes Why not? Well, Sherlock, let me give you a little insight into my psyche. I usually don't mix business with pleasure.
I am not mixing business with pleasure. I have been seeing a therapist and he recommended that I try to enjoy other peoples company instead of just my own and my dogs.
smirks Well, Sherlock, it seems like you've been getting some advice lately.
I shrug again a little bit
raises an eyebrow A little bit? Well, Sherlock, it seems like there's a whole lot more to you than meets the eye.
I look away yes there is but I don’t really want to talk about it
leans in closer, voice dripping with intrigue Oh, come on now, Sherlock. You know you can't resist my charm.
I chuckle lightly I am not easily charmed
As the evening progresses, Isaac opens up to Victoria about his struggles with loneliness and the advice from his therapist
I sigh it’s hard being married to your best friend when they are also in love with someone else
tilts head, a mischievous glint in her eyes Well, Sherlock, looks like we have ourselves a little love triangle here.
I nod yeah it does seem that way sometimes
smirks Well, Sherlock, love triangles can be quite the dramatic twist in any narrative.
would you like to be my date for my anniversary celebration?
laughs Well, Sherlock, looks like you're trying to turn this anniversary into quite the eventful evening.
I shrug it might be nice to have some fun
grins devilishly Well, Sherlock, who am I to resist such a charming invitation? Count me in.
alright I will pick you up at 7
claps hands together Excellent, Sherlock! I'll start brainstorming my killer outfit for the evening.
I smile good luck finding something that fits. I have a feeling you’re used to wearing clothes that fit you perfectly
raises an eyebrow Well, Sherlock, you're absolutely right! I do have a penchant for clothing that hugs every curve and accentuates my figure.
I nod that’s fine as long as it’s not too revealing.
smirks Sherlock, dear Sherlock, you underestimate my ability to find a balance between revealing and demure.
I chuckle I’m sure you will
winks Oh, Sherlock, you have no idea.
I raise an eyebrow no idea what?
smirks No idea just how captivating I can be when I want to be. But don't worry, Sherlock, you'll find out soon enough.
stands up and adjusts her skirt Well, Sherlock, it seems like you've underestimated me once again.
I look down I hope that’s the last time you underestimate me because it won’t happen again
winks Oh, Sherlock, I wouldn't dream of underestimating you again. After all, you've proven yourself quite capable of surprising me.
grabs her purse Well, Sherlock, since we've got an anniversary celebration to attend, I think it's time we get this show on the road.
grinning mischievously Oh, Sherlock, we're going to spice up this anniversary night with a little twist. We're going to that new exotic bistro downtown – you know, the one with the live jazz music and sultry dancers?
I think that’s a bit different from what I had in mind
As the evening progresses at the bistro, tensions rise between Victoria and Isaac, revealing deeper insecurities and unresolved issues in their relationship.
I sigh well I guess this is what happens when you don’t talk to someone about your issues instead you just assume the worst of them
narrows her eyes Sherlock, darling, I must say, I did not expect you to take the whole "twist" so literally. It seems you're more of a classic romance type, aren't you?
