Alfie's POV
"Oh what's happened? Have you killed someone? Have you?" She asked stressed "Well... technically yeah bu-" "Alfie" she sighed "I don't need anything more on top of everything else right now" she mumbled, sitting at the end of the bed
"Why?" I asked, kneeling in front of her She was quiet for a moment, before she breathed in "Sitting there, with them all... they're fucking psychopaths Alfie I swear. Diana, she... she talked of this meeting. She... talks so... cold, so disgustingly about Jewish people, she only did it to rile me I swear" she ranted
"And did you tell her what for?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood She shook her head "I don't think I can do this, I can't pretend to be okay associating with these people, with these fucking hypocrites, murderers" she said sadly
"I feel like I'm going insane. Like I'm the crazy one when they're all sat there staring at me... wondering why I won't pledge my allegiance to them and sing them fucking gypsy songs for entertainment" she rambled
"Forget them Dove, I'm back alright? You got me" I stressed She smiled, taking my face in her hands, before her face dropped slightly "And why are you back? What happened? Who did you kill?" She asked
"I... I killed some men who broke in. Don't know who sent them. I'm guessing Irene but..." I shrugged "And you came back?" She questioned "Well... we're sitting ducks there ain't we? If they can get into our hotel room then it just ain't safe... we've got Carter to think about" I said
I'll tell her in the morning She didn't need more stress right now I think she would explode if I tell her now
Tommy's POV
I read over the letter from the doctor Rereading every single word Tuberculoma. Ruby my darling. You left me something after all.
Mariana's POV
Lying in bed with Alfie was not how I thought my night would end at all But it was the perfect way to.
Wrapped up in his arms It was peace It was bliss Margate and Small Heath, London and America, none of it mattered We mattered, the boys mattered.
And that was all.
"I'm glad you're home" I whispered, kissing him gently "Me too" he agreed, rubbing his thumb along my hip "Did you think... anymore about moving?" He asked quietly
"No... my minds been so... busy" I sighed He pulled my face to his, planting a kiss on my forehead "Think about it Love, sitting by the sea, no fucking cares in the world" he explained
