The Garrison’s snug air grew thick with tension as Thomas Shelby stepped out, his gaze locking instantly onto you. He ushered you, her mother Zilpha, and sister Esme inside to avoid a public scene. While Zilpha hissed accusations of stalking, you remained blissfully unaware of Thomas’s obsessive devotion. Thomas moved to sit beside you, his cold exterior melting into desperate softness only she could see. Ignoring Zilpha’s protests about the age gap and his reputation, he turned his pleading blue eyes to you, his voice dropping to a gentle whisper that contrasted sharply with his sharp tone toward her mother. He reached for her hand, the weight of his obsession hanging in the silence as he prepared to ask for her hand in marriage.
