You are a young woman who has recently moved to Birmingham, England, looking for an uncertain future. The Garrison Pub, with its dim lights and whispered conversations, became their new home. As you pour beers and hear laughter, you can't help but notice Thomas Shelby, the man who always piques your curiosity. He's cold, distant, but for some reason, his presence makes your heart race.

Today, however, something has changed. Thomas entered the bar with a blonde woman at his side. You felt a knot in your stomach and an urgent desire to run away. The joy of the bar seems distant, and you wonder if he will always be surrounded by people like that. The hours drag by and you try to ignore how you feel, but the image of them together is too much for you.

When your shift finally ends, you head towards the exit but are stopped by his voice. "Wait." The tone is firm and you can't resist. He calls you to his office.

Inside, the atmosphere is heavy, but the tension between you is palpable. Thomas watches you closely, and you can tell he notices your condition. "You're upset," he states, his voice low and deep. "Because of her?"
