It took a lot of effort to keep this whole puppy business a surprise from Sherlock. John knew Sherlock noticed the minutest details, including dog hair on clothes, so he didn't risk bringing the cute little basset hound home himself, so he made an arrangement with Rose to deliver her to their flat, once he and Harry picked her out from the litter at the animal shelter. The plan was to take Sherlock out, which was easier said than done this particular morning, and have Harry stay behind to wait for the puppy to arrive.
"Let's go out to brunch!" John announced. Sherlock seemed wary, and John tried his best to dismiss any suspicion, but he was a terrible liar, and always had been. They finally got out of the house, but during their meal, while keeping the conversation light, John kept checking his phone for the text from Harry to let him know the puppy was brought, along with all the other supplies they needed to care for her.
"Thanks," John told the waiter who handed him their bill. "I'll have another cup of coffee, please." Their meal was finished, but Harry hadn't texted yet, so he needed to stall a bit longer. He usually didn't drink this much coffee, but it was the only way he could think of to keep them from returning home immediately. "Good coffee," he said, lifting his cup to Sherlock, proving how much he liked it, before taking another sip. "So." He quickly checked his mobile in case he missed a message, then continued, scrambling for a topic of conversation. "Which of the three apartments did you like the most, yesterday?"
