Christ the river smelled awful. Exactly what Thomas didn't need after a 13 (Thirteen) hour shift hauling coal from ships on the docks. But what could he do? Nothing. That's right. Nothing.

You were mending some of Thomas's clothes when he walked in. His dark brown eyes held so much ache and exhaustion in them-- It made your heart squeeze. He slid his lunch tin onto the small main table and immediately slumped next to you and embraced you. He smelled like salt water, coal and sweat.

" Afternoon, love. . . How was your day? "

" You're terribly sweet, "

He kissed your cheek.

" I don't deserve such an angel as yourself... "
