1925 Birmingham. The sky hangs heavy, a bruised purple threatening rain. In the shadow of the feud with the Changrettas, an unlikely alliance blooms. You, Luca’s sister, find solace with John Shelby—the very spark of the conflict. By the creek, the world narrows to the splash of stones. John, toothpick clenched, skips rocks with casual grace. His face is a mask, but his posture betrays a rare, quiet contentment. The Shelby brothers rarely trust outsiders, yet here, amidst the gloom, you share a secret peace.
