This is my take on the Peaky Blinders that starts with the men of the world going off to war leaving behind all of their loved ones which for Thomas Shelby meant the girl he had grown up with and lived all of his life. When he left he promised to gi...

^Nora's 1st dress^
The next morning, surprisingly Nora woke up before Tommy who was sleeping soundly for once before she moved over to the bag that was filled with everything she needed to get ready for the day since she had decided to leave a bag of things over at the Shelby house for when she slept over with Tommy or in case anything that required a change of clothes. Nora go dressed in a pale pink dress with black dots with her usual black tights and black boots before she decided to clip back her hair to keep it out of her hair with a large gold class allowing it to fall down her back. She left a note on the pillow that she had been sleeping on to let him know that she had left early to go to the garrison since Arthur had asked for her help in getting more familiar with the running of the pub since he only knew how to drink in one and not how to operate one. So while Arthur made a start on the books that Harry had left for him, Nora decided to check what stock they had in the basement of the pub and the quality of them so that she could inform Arthur of whatever they needed before heading back up stairs after noticing a few minor details.
" hey Art, so I've checked all of the stock and we should be good in beer and whiskey for the next two weeks but these cigarettes have a strange smell. They seem off somehow" Nora said throwing him a pack to smell
" They smell like rotting water" Arthur said agreeing with her that something wasn't right about them as he opened the pack as she grabbed a nearby chair to sit on since her feet were hurting
" my point exactly and by the looks of them, I'd say the rats have gotten some of them. They're stolen, right?" Nora said giving him a look although she didn't necessarily need him to answer
" Don't ask, Nora. I don't get into trouble with Tommy for telling you too much" Arthur said knowing that getting in between him and the Parker girl wasn't the best thing to do in the world
" Arthur, I've known you lot since we were babies together meaning I know how things are done. All I'm saying is that the cigarettes smell because you keep them on a boat, they're damp" Nora said knowing that she probably knew as much as any Peaky blinder
" please, Nora, just let it go. Now, can you come and check my adding up please?" Arthur said since it well known that Nora was the smarter one out of them all due to how much she would read
" of course, I mean who taught you all how to add and read anyway? You know, you should make a new start with this place, I mean owning a pub has always been your dream" Nora said gently
" what are you suggesting I do exactly?" Arthur said as he looked around the office thinking about how he could turn the garrison into everything he had been dreaming off while he was in France
" Do it properly, you know start taking care of the place a little better. Find a better way of doing things, starting with these cigarette because these aren't in any state to be sold" Nora said trying to him see things from a business point of view
