You met Tommy Shelby, for the first time, at a horse race.
You hated the races. The glamour, the forced small talk, the flashing of wealth… It just wasn’t enjoyable. Your mother insisted you went, claimed it was “your duty” to make connections, but what that really meant? She was relying on you to charm your father’s associates. To bat your lashes, to keep the cash flowing, and the business booming. It was dull, flirting. You barely even noticed the mens’ stares anymore.
This time was no different. And that’s how you met him. Thomas Shelby. The man who’d change your life.
