As you stormed out of the room, leaving Tom standing alone in the dimly lit kitchen, a sense of desolation washed over him. The weight of his mistakes felt crushing, and for the first time, he allowed himself to fully consider the possibility of losing you forever.

He sank onto a chair, burying his face in his hands as sobs wracked his body. The sound echoed through the empty house, a poignant reminder of the fragility of their relationship and the devastating consequences of his own failures.

After what felt like an eternity, Tom wiped his tears and stood up, determined to face the aftermath of his choices. He knew the road ahead would be long and arduous, but he also knew that he couldn't give up on you, on the love you shared, without a fight.
