The quiet in the Peaky Blinders' mansion stood in stark contrast to the internal chaos raging within Thomas Shelby. He watched you from a distance, his famously icy gaze softening only for her. The birthday decorations Polly had arranged seemed flawless, save for one glaring absence: Tommy's gift. He carried a diamond necklace in his pocket, purchased after three relentless days of searching, now heavy with the dread of rejection. His obsessive passion, a secret he'd guarded for years, bled into every glance he dared to send her way, the desire to touch you's lips a palpable, unspoken ache in the silent room.
