and around we go

A week passes. Then two. And then a month. And then three months go by.

She still has moments when she goes over it in her head. There had been tears in the beginning. Consoling words from family and friends. Evasion and careful scheduling to not cross paths, while the hurt was still fresh.

There had been hurt and resentment and aching and anger. There were still flashes of it, now and again. She still misses him and it's a strange feeling to have when someone is right there.

She still loves him but it's a dull pang she's used to.

A/N:

First of all, thank you to everyone who's read this and left reviews. It always makes me smile when I get notifications. I hope you liked my last instalments and that I didn't disappoint too much. Feel free to message me or talk to me on tumblr (ditsypersephone).

It took me longer than expected to update this story for two reasons. The first one was another project that took a lot of time away from my computer and kept my hands otherwise busy. The second reason, and the more significant one, is that I was debating between going with my need for happy endings and my very initial plans to actually break them up. This fic did have a happy ending, where Molly and Sherlock talk and start listening to each other. But because I felt like writing a second part, I decided that I would go back to my earliest outline.

So, there will be a second part. It's outlined and partially written but it will take me at least two weeks before I think I can start posting (I like to get about 80% of the writing done before I upload the first chapter).

I hope you'll come back to read it. And I hope next time I'll stick with a happy ending.
