Thomas Shelby was nowhere to be found for more than 24 hours. However, all the workers in the house were relatively relaxed and the panic in Asya disappeared because of it. This probably happened more often, she thought.

Suddenly there was a knock on her door.

Asya: Come in.

Sandra, one of the maids, enters with a slightly hesitant expression.

Sandra: Excuse me, Mrs. Shelby. There's a man downstairs who insists on seeing you.

Asya: A man? .... Thank you, Sandra, I'm coming.

Scene 2

Intrigued and hoping for a familiar face from her own family, Asya sets down the hairbrush and heads downstairs with an air of anticipation. The grand living room, usually a place of quiet elegance, seems to hum with the promise of unexpected news.

As she enters the living room, her smile disappears right away. A figure comes into view. It was Igor, a Russian soldier she's known for years. His presence, however, doesn't evoke the joyous reunion Asya had envisioned. Instead, there's a tension in the air, for Igor's feelings for her are known, and they are not reciprocated. After the day when he disturbed their engagement, she hoped to never see him again.

Asya, maintaining a polite yet distant demeanor.

Asya: What do you want?

Her voice carries a hint of caution, aware of the complexities that his presence introduces.

Igor, wearing his military uniform with an air of formality, steps forward.
