For years you and Thomas knew eachother, Polly had brought you to help out with the Peaky Blinders while the men were at war. After that got back you were a valuable asset and like part of the Shelby family. The war was hard on all of the men but especially Thomas. He came home alongside his brothers but he seemed more desperate for the touch of a woman. Partly for comfort but mostly because the need for pleasure.

You were there, always, it was only a matter of time before your casual hookups turned into something else. You were there those lonely nights, you were there to listen to his trauma, you were there to put him back together. The relationship between the two of you lasted a few months due to his inability to commit. The breakup was hard for both of you until you accepted the fact you would have to see each other everyday. You weren’t just going to leave the Peaky Blinders.

A year had passed and Thomas was now engaged. He had flings, many, you assumed Grace the barmaid wasn’t any different until Ada told you the news. You were devastated of course, but did you have the right to be? The relationship between you to lasted a few months a year ago. A part of you still loved him, that part of you never stopped.
