There is a world in which the coin lands the other way.
Tommy Shelby does not think he's a particularly superstitious man, and he had thought he'd made his mind up. To the others, he'd whispered to Polly, and her hand had felt like a cold, empty comfort after the emptiness Grace had left in his life.
He writes her a letter and tells her he'll flip a coin, just like he did when he was younger; just like he did before the war, when superstitions were a part of his daily life, before he needed rationality to keep him going.
But the coin lands the other way. And after he's posted the letter, after he's taken a look around his offices, he gets in his car and drives to London. He isn't wearing his finest suit, on account of the bandages still covering the wound dug by Billy Kimber's bullet. He hasn't brought anything. He hasn't brought any speech, nor any questions for her that he needs answers to.
But the coin landed the other way. And so Grace's hotel gets a call that she has a visitor.
lmk if this works!
