On a train arrives a young woman. She's naive, she's kind, she's everything the city begs her not to be. When she meets Thomas Shelby, he is unlike any man she has met before. An exploration into Tommy as a character as he tries to find love. A warning that this has no purpose of being a satisfying, kind romance, but more a broken man trying so hard and a woman trying so hard to understand him. Please take that into consideration.

Shame and regret follows their trail. Rose is feeling petty, she's feeling unlike herself. She haunts Thomas in every corner, in every thought. Every mistake he's ever made is listed in her eyes. He never changes... Does he? He believes focusing on business will make him a better man, but his business has a way of bringing them together. And what haunts him; the shame, the regret, the grief... Starts to feel like something he can't live without. And Rose is one step ahead of him. She's devouring whiskey like water because she knows what she can't escape from. A continuation of an exploration of characters and dynamics, where obsession and hope bleed into one. Another warning, this fic has no intention ever to be satisfying. Part 2 in series - Are We There Season 3 & 4 of Peaky Blinders Tommy Shelby x female oc
