The sun beat down on the Glade, highlighting the tension between the old bond and new arrivals. Thomas approached, his expression a mix of frustration and longing. He confronted you about her distance, his voice sharp with accusation yet his eyes betraying a deeper affection. When you mocked his attention to Teresa, Thomas snapped back, the confession slipping out before he could stop it.

Realizing his slip, he clamped his mouth shut, turning away in flustered retreat as you called his name, leaving the moment hanging in the dusty air.
