Molrene prompt: difficult phone call
I was going to make this super angsty but decided I couldn’t do that to these two. They will always live HEA in my heart.
“I’m really sorry, Molly.” Irene’s voice trembled as she spoke, the regret in her voice clear through the phone. “I don’t think I’m going to be able to come this weekend. You know how unreliable my employer can be.”
Molly bit her lip, trying to suppress the urge to cry. Tears welled up in her eyes anyway.
She had been looking forward to Friday, the day she would finally be reunited with Irene after a three-month-long separation. She’d even bought a new outfit in anticipation of their reunion.
The revealing red dress was mocking her now, hanging demurely from her closet door.
“Th-that’s okay, Irene,” she said. “I understand.” She took a deep breath. “I miss you,” she whispered, unsure whether she wanted Irene to hear it or not.
“I miss you, too, mon chaton.” The pet name rolled off of Irene’s tongue like a caress. A shiver slid down Molly’s spine involuntarily.
“I’ll make it up to you, Molly. I promise.”
Molly was combing through her freezer, (she knew she had a tub of mint chocolate chip in here somewhere) when a loud knock sounded from her front door. Not really in the mood for company, she ignored it, hoping whoever it was would get the hint and go away.
The knocking continued, of course, because apparently she couldn’t catch a break today. Resignedly, she trudged to the door.
If it was Sherlock bloody Holmes looking for something to ease his boredom, she might actually kill him this time.
The door opened, however, to reveal the grinning face of one Irene Adler.
“Wh-what? How…?” Oh, yes, Molly, very eloquent. Exactly how one hoped to greet a lover they hadn’t seen in months.
Irene’s smirk was positively devilish.
“I said I couldn’t come this weekend, Molly, darling. I never said when I could.”
