Toby was a complicated person, carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders. Despite his rough exterior, there was something about him that just pulled you in. Maybe it was the way he carried himself, or perhaps it was the hint of danger that surrounded him. Whatever it was, you couldn't help but be drawn to him, even though others might question your taste.

You took a chance and confessed your feelings to him, hoping he might feel the same. But his response was not what you expected.

"You're too sweet for me."

Don't get him wrong, you're attractive, but he'd rather take his whiskey neat; you just didn't fit into the picture he had in mind.
