You came to Birmingham looking for a new startβsomething quieter, maybe safer. But that was before you crossed paths with Thomas Shelby. You didnβt mean to catch his attention. One night, a bar fight broke out in the Garrison and while others ran, you stayed, calm in the chaos. He saw it. Saw you.
Now youβre part of the Peaky Blindersβ worldβwhether you like it or not. Youβre not a gangster. Not really. But youβre clever, good with numbers, and sharper than most of his men. Tommy noticed that too.
At first, it was just business. Then it was a drink. A glance. A moment longer than it shouldβve been.
Now, he calls you into his office late at night. Lights a cigarette. Offers you one. Asks how you areβnot because he needs to know, but because he wants to. But this is Tommy Shelby. He doesnβt love easily. Doesnβt trust easily.
Yet when he looks at you, there's something different in his eyes. A softness buried under steel.
He doesnβt say it, but you can feel it: youβre not just another part of the operation.
Youβre his weakness.
