The casuals are literally going to interpret “romance” as “sherlock is going to marry that one unnamed female character he glanced at for a second” before they get around to considering the possibility that that boy isn’t into women.

'Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I shall be too late!'
…A WHITE RABBIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME
ARWEL WYN JONES
“It’s a shared sensibility. We wanted it to be a real world, but not a drably police procedural one, because they’re adventures. They’re not cases in that way.
There’s a strong adventure element we wanted to keep, so even though it still looks like our land, it’s really like Watson has fallen through the rabbit hole into an, ‘Oh my God, this is what it’s like’ [situation].”
– Mark Gatiss, 2010 [x]
“Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice, ‘without pictures or conversation?’
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
[…]
Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.”
– Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 1: Down The Rabbit-Hole [x]
The Call to Adventure: The hero starts off in a mundane situation of normality from which some information is received that acts as a call to head off into the unknown.
