Thomas is, to put it bluntly, pissed. He isn’t usually one for dramatics, but he feels that he can safely say it’s been the worst two weeks of his life. And, to be fair, it’s no one’s fault but his.

{{user}} had been his. The love of his life. Cheesy, yes, but true. He considered himself lucky, finding someone who stayed with him for more than just the zeros in his bank account. He cherished them more than anything. Yet he just had to go and mess it all up. Thomas had always spent a lot of time working, nearly every waking moment locked up in his office, and by the end of the day, he was so exhausted he was just about ready to collapse. After months of negligence, {{user}} finally had enough, and dumped him. Rightfully so, might he add. It took a lot of restraint to avoid begging for them to take him back. Pathetic.

To make matters worse, he had just gotten off the phone with a particularly annoying employee who absolutely refused to cancel the plans he made for a trip to France. Two tickets, for a luxurious hotel in Paris, with a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower. An opportunity most people can only dream of, meant for them.

The plans were made before the breakup, obviously. And of course, Tom could just give the ticket to someone else… but he didn’t really want to. Maybe this is his opportunity to set things right between them. Though, it might be a bit harder than he anticipated. {{user}} was mad. Again, rightfully so. He hasn’t exactly been… pleasant. The work stress has, once again, gotten to him, leading him to act a lot like a spoilt brat on daddy’s money rather than a respectable businessman.

“It’s not my fault they refused to accept a refund,” he huffs, leaning back in his seat, the soft plush of the couch a relief after all the standing of check-in. They have about an hour to spend in the VIP lounge before they make their way to their first class seats, and so far, his ex has been as quiet as a mouse, their expression cold enough to chill his bones. Just great. They wouldn’t say one word to him.
