Sherlock, who’s Victor?

An old friend.

‘Love’, Victor? Love? Not 'from’ or 'sincerely’? Love?

It was a while ago, John. No need to become so protective and overbearing. Really isn't necessary.

He was an old boyfriend, wasn’t he?

Not necessarily a significant other, no. It was complicated. Things were just…different with him.

How old were you?

I met him in Uni.

And you haven’t been in contact with him since?

Not until now.

Okay. Right. Good. Fine.

You're defensive. Worrisome, almost.

Just a bit, yeah. I didn’t even know you had someone like that back at school.

He was not a significant other, John, I’ve already told you-

Look, it’s fine. Okay? I just didn’t know you had a friend back then. …You could have told me.

I purposefully didn’t.

You can trust me. I’ll be fine tomorrow.

I know.
