Once More into the Breach

Harry fingered the invitation in her purse once again. As a graphic designer, she hated its off-center names, but she knew why John had refused to include his middle name. The more irritating part of the card was the message. Her little brother, the only family she had left, was getting married in three weeks. A whole new person had come into his life, which meant she had one more chance to decide whether she had finally fallen out of it. That simply could not happen. She stood up and said "Hello, my name is Harry and I'm an alcoholic."

Brilliant. I'm sure Moffat and Gatiss only wrote Harry as a woman for the shock value of John's sibling not being his brother, with no other dimension or thought to her character. You have redeemed her!

Thank you

Would have been nice to see Harry at John's wedding. (BTW I think it's BBC Sherlock not Elementary for the verse - unless Harry Watson and Joan Watson get together...)

Yeesh. Remind me not to hurry to get these done before work. Fixed
