a little snippet about Edith and Sherlock from the Enola Holmes movie because I thought they were cute so here goes nothing...

It was Enola’s fault. She was the reason Edith ever met Sherlock in the first place. Edith had a habit of staying away from people who invited trouble into her life and what was Sherlock if not trouble in a suit?

Of course she’d heard of the illustrious and enigmatic detective before; who in London hadn’t? But that didn’t mean she had any intention of knowing him personally. Even, and especially, because she was friends with his mother.

So she met trouble on a Tuesday while at the library with Enola. It was quite a coincidence, really. Edith and Enola were much too enthralled in the search for a copy of A Manual of Bandaging to pay much attention to people in the aisle, much less notice Enola walk right into a gentleman’s backside-

“Enola?” The man turned around at the intrusion, blinking between the two of them. The gaze he settled on the younger woman demanded answers. Edith was glad he did not seem to want answers out of her. She was not typically inclined to answer to the whims of strange men.
