Lestrade stirred the contents of the paper cup with a red-and-white-striped stick while he spoke.
Sherlock interrupted.
“Mycroft has finally made his affection known.”
John gasped. “How—?”
Sherlock smirked. “That’s not coffee he’s stirring. It’s Hotel Chocolat’s dark cocoa supreme. Lestrade wouldn’t spend that kind of money on a hot beverage, so it’s a gift, and that,” he nodded to a thermos flask on the desk, “is not his. Arrived this morning. With a note?”
“Hand delivered,” said Lestrade. “And, yeah, there’s a note.” He turned the cup where written in an elegant hand was:
