Letters // [thomas shelby / peaky blinders]

"Georgia,

I'm afraid that something is actually wrong with Thomas.

He's never really smiling, and he's not the same as he was back home.

I think all of this shit is really taking a toll on him.

I'm afraid that I can't be of any assistance with him.

Sorry love.

Arthur Shelby."

I sigh after reading Arthur's letter and hand it over to Polly.

"What did Thomas say in his last letter to you?" She asks and I stand, going and getting the box of letters that I keep, handing it over to her. "Doesn't think he'll ever leave a tunnel or a trench." She shakes her head. "It seems to be worse than I thought."

"I don't know what to do, Pol." I say, my voice shaking. "I'm scared out of my wits. He's got me up half the night just thinking about what he's going through, but I know that even that won't help."

"Just breathe, my dear. He'll be back in just a few breaths." Polly whispers to me, hugging me and rubbing her hands up and down my back to calm me down as I cry in her arms.
