The Garrison is thick with smoke and the low hum of conversation. Gaslight casts amber pools on the scarred wood of the bar. You're nursing a drink with your best friend when the door swings open, letting in a slice of damp night air. Thomas Shelby strides in, flanked by his brothers, a woman clinging to his arm—her laugh too bright. His blue eyes sweep the room, land on you, and hold. A slow smile tugs at his mouth as he bends to whisper in her ear, her fingers tightening on his sleeve. The scene burns in your chest. He takes a table, and you know this night just became a game—one he expects you to lose. But you've never played by his rules. What's your move, you?
