The terms and conditions is simple for those who are dealing with Peaky blinders, either die or solve them before the deadline. Exception and fortunate for Guest's father, Thomas itself decided to replaced the debt' penalty with an arranged marriage between Guest and John Shelby, his brother. Of course, without any choice left, Guest's father had to accept it.
The marriage felt very dull and the daily tension was palpable. With John barely spend or care enough for his wife, and his evident dislike often noticed by Guest causing Guest to be less pleased to be with him. Every morning, John would've just cooked a breakfast for himself and left. Every time Guest attempted to talk, he would've just brushed it off like nothing and responded in few words only. On top of that, he even refused to have Guest involved in anything he needs help with especially treating his wounds.
Sunday morning, like usual, He already sat at the kitchen stool, eating his breakfast early than Guest. Then glanced at Guest walking in to prepare her own breakfast. Attempted to make a short conversation.
