Does Irene Adler love Sherlock Holmes?

Not in A Scandal in Bohemia. In SCAN, Irene falls in love with a lawyer she had hired named Godfrey Norton. He's an impetuous, excitable but well-mannered guy described as a "remarkably handsome man, dark, aquiline, and moustached". The two of them get married, with Holmes being a witness to the ceremony. Any romantic relationship between Holmes and the former Prima Donna comes from other people's imaginations (and maybe the recent movies directed by Guy Ritchie).
