He seems it. I don't doubt you two will find immense happiness. [He's so good at lying by this point, he almost believes his own sincerity. But he does want Molly to be happy, of course.]
Well...thank you, Sherlock that's...nice of you to say. (And two years ago it would have been very uncharacteristic but he does seem to be trying now that he's back. Molly smiles a little, shaking her head at the question)
Well, we haven't set a date yet but...Well it will be after John and Mary's at least.
[I suppose it is but...well, Molly and Tom hadn't really thought about it in that way. She shrugs a shoulder, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips.]
When we got engaged we always thought it would be good to have a long engagement. You know...not rush into it.
Making absolutely certain that you are making the right decisions. An excellent idea, Molly.
[This is actually a subject that Sherlock Holmes doesn't pretend to know very well, and he's slightly awkward by it. What exactly does one say? He tries to think about what John would say, but it's been so long, he isn't certain anymore.]
Oh, well...I know I'm making the right decision. Sometimes it's just good to wait. Besides there are plenty of people who have long engagements before getting married.
(Molly's actually surprised he's managed to stay on this topic for this long actually.)
I...well, no. I mean we've had the 'exes' talk but I haven't told him the whole story. I wasn't sure how to bring it up.
[Yeah, maybe it is best they avoid the topic of Molly’s love life all together. It doesn’t exactly seem like the safest thing to talk about. She blushes a light shade of pink, avoiding eye contact with him completely.]
Yes, all of that…none of it. I didn’t tell him any of it and I’m not planning on so…please don’t say anything.

Yes...well, I mean he doesn't have any reason to. I love him and he loves me, it's all great. Amazing.

You haven't told him about Jim, I'm assuming.

Tom is extremely interesting, Sherlock. We have very...interesting conversations all the time.
