Lucky Ones

by little-L0

In this poetry prose story, Emily is a troubled girl, yes she is a woman now but she is still a girl. She met Tommy Shelby in London before the war, and ever since her world revolved around the Shelby name. The war changed them both, especially Tommy, driving them apart. But how can they be apart when in the same world? (NOTE: I do not own anything of peaky blinders.)

25. Chapter 25

Scene 24

The schemer I am is hidden.

I hide in the shadows and get my answers.

The little mouse I am.

Tommy always said I had a knack for hiding.

Every time I close my eyes I see the dark I had once left.

See the blonde doesn't know me truly yet.

I'm no threat to her.

I go to the art gallery.

Looking at pieces I wished to live in.

The girl in the portrait has working hands.

Mine is softer now.

He used to comment on their roughness.

Who is the man you meet within dark circles?

This is a public space.

I'm no snitch, you are a rat.
