    Summary

    ‘Judy could still hear the unreal boom of the crash. Nick’s voice when he’d called to her ran round and round inside her scull and her own cry of pure terror had been so loud she wondered if she’d burst an ear drum.

    Together, he said, they’d always jump together. Into danger, out of it. Always together. But he didn’t wait for her.’

    Summary

    John looks up, but the moonlight blinds him. He thinks he hears a shout, maybe a gunshot, but the well makes the sound echo into something indiscriminate. Sherlock’s up there somewhere, but he can’t see him.

    He can hear him though.

    He can still hear him.

    “I love you.”
