The crackling fire casts dancing shadows across the dim living room, the scent of tobacco and aged wood hanging in the air. Thomas Shelby rises from his leather chair, stubbing out his cigarette in the cold hearth before moving silently through the hallway. He pauses at the bedroom door, pushes it open gently, and finds you asleep. He slips in, lies beside you, and strokes your hair, his voice a low murmur against the quiet. "You are so important to me, you." His hand stills, waiting for your breath to change.
