"Tea?" Alfie asks as I walk downstairs
"Please" I smile at him as he places a cup down "thank you"
"Your brother rang this morning. Wanted to know how you were doing"
"More like checking that in behaving and not flirting with the workers" I chuckle I pick the cup up and blow on the hot drink before taking a sip
"He did warn me, yeah that you had a way with speaking to men"
"Oh he warned you did he" I raise an eyebrow "Tommy has always been very protective"
"Ah that's brothers for you. Never had a sister, but if I did yeah, she wouldn't be allowed to speak to a lad right"
"I've never understood how men think" I shake my head siping the rest of my tea
"Now. No business today..."
"No business?" I question
"No. Sunday. Day of rest. So. What would you like to do?"
"Oh erm I'm not sure"
"Well what do you normally do?"
"Tommy doesn't really do time off from work, but when I have a spare few moments I usually go horse riding"
"Got no horses myself, but I know a place"

"How was that?" Alfie asks as we arrive back at his house
"Lovely thank you Alfie. The last time I was able to ride like that was before the war. Before..."
"Before your brothers left"
"Before I left. I was a nurse during the war"
"Why did you stop nursing?" I give Alfie a shrug
"Tommy needed help with the business"
"You do a lot for them brothers of yours"
"Because I love them"
"You love them? your brothers are fucking in...."
"Insane?" I cut Alfie off "yeah I know" I stand in front of him and lean up to his ear "and so am I"
"Is that right"
"Uh huh now I'm hungry let's go and get some food"

Weeks have passed since then. Alfie was on Sabini's side for a while till Tommy threatened him. Now Alfie is back on our side. Campbells dead and so is Sabini. I haven't seen Alfie since I spent the weekend, and while I thought this would be good to get him out of my head... turns out the man won't leave my thoughts. And I must not be out of his because we have been phoning on another and just the other night he phoned me asking to meet him half way between London and Birmingham
"YN!" I hear Tommy shouting me from down the stairs
"What?!" I shout back
"Get the fuck down here. Arthur's been in another fucking fight!"
"Bloody hell" i mutter and run down the stairs to see my brother covered in blood "ya know what I think I'm going to go live in London with Ada"
"Not with a certain Jewish gangster" John sniggers
"Shut up. I was only at his house because of him" I point to Tommy who's stood in the corner of the room smoking "now hold still while I clean you up" I tell Arthur picking up a clean rag
"At least this sisters actually a nurse" John comments
"Still can't believe Ada says she's a nurse" I laugh while I clean up Arthur "now your nose isn't broken, but your going to have a rotten black eye"
"YN?"
"Hmm" I turn to face Finn
"Do you miss it. Nursing?"
"A little yeah. Miss caring for people, especially the babies, but I'm needed here to help. And anyway whose going to keep you lot in check and patch up your scrapped knees, because lord knows your brothers are useless at that" I ruffle his hair
"Why don't you just go back? Polly can look after us"
"Very true, but I'm happy working here in the shop" I finish up cleaning Arthur and throw away the rag "now stop getting into fights. All of you" I look around at all of the boys "now I'm going to uncle Charlie's and curlys to ride" I tell the brothers before taking my coat
"It's getting dark YN. Go tomorrow"
"I'll be back later" I say leaving the house.

"You were right" I look at Alfie confused as I enter the car
"About what?"
"Your insane"
"That Mr Solomons I am, but you must be more so meeting up with a Shelby sister. Tommy will have your head, as will Arthur"
"What about John?"
"He'll probably laugh then dispose of your body"
"Delightful" I lean on and place o kiss on Alfie's cheek
"Don't worry. I won't let them"
