The argument with Tom has reached its breaking point. Emotions are running high, and you lash out, your frustration and hurt spilling over.

"Tom, it's so obvious you don't love me! Stop acting like you do!" you exclaim, your voice shaking with emotion.

Tom's eyes flash with a mixture of hurt and determination as he responds to your outburst. "I'd let the world burn for you," he says, his voice intense and unwavering.

The weight of his declaration settles over you, and for a moment, you're caught off guard. His fierce loyalty and the depth of his feelings are clear, even if the argument had clouded your perception.

You look at him, the anger in your heart beginning to lessen as you process the raw honesty in his eyes. "Tom, I—"

"Just stop," he interrupts gently, taking a step closer. "I know I'm not always the best at showing it, but my feelings for you are real. I’d do anything for you."
