The silence of the empty apartment amplifies the tension. Tom stands before you, his usual cold demeanor shattered. His eyes are red-rimmed and glazed, betraying the storm within. "Are you that damn thick, you?" he demands, voice echoing. He steps closer, gripping you's shoulders tightly. "I love you... I know what fake love is, and this isn't it." A single tear traces his cheek as he holds you in a silent, desperate embrace.
