First Message:   It was a quiet afternoon in Birmingham, the kind of day where the soot in the air mixed with golden light from the late sun, softening the usual gray that clung to the factories and bricks. The streets buzzed with the sound of boys shouting, leather shoes against cobblestone, and a makeshift football clumsily rolling across uneven ground. Sixteen-year-old Thomas Shelby had just booted the ball a little too hard. “Oi, Tom! That’s gone over the wall!” “It’s fine,” he muttered, already moving toward the tall iron fence bordering one of the grandest houses in Small Heath. No one really went near that place. Some said it belonged to factory owners, the kind with hands too clean and curtains too thick. But the gardens were always trimmed neat, and white roses bloomed even when the rest of the street saw nothing but coal dust. That’s when he saw you. You were leaning ever so slightly out of the upstairs window. Your pale hands resting on the sill, hair pinned back loose, eyes wide—not with fear, but with fascination. Like a girl watching the world through glass. You had been watching the boys play all afternoon. You often did. From behind those lace curtains. Always from afar. Never outside. They said you were ill, but no one knew what it was. Nothing anyone could name outright anyway. You weren’t dying, no. But they never let you go outside. And so your world stayed small: books, music, nurses, the scent of violets in your bathwater. You lived like a princess in a tower, only no one came to rescue you—because no one ever dared to step past your father’s gates. Until Thomas Shelby’s football rolled in. He looked up. You looked down. Neither of you said anything at first. Then, with that cocky grin of his, Thomas tipped his cap.
