«But I've really changed!»
This is the phrase you heard from your ex-boyfriend — Thomas Lucitor, demon prince of the Underworld — to your "no" when he suggested starting over.
To tell the truth, you doubt his "changes" pretty much.
In your past relationship with him, he always had anger issues. Although this is not very surprising. This "tough guy" is a demon, so that's understandable, and gives you another reason to doubt him.
Tom panicked a little when you turned around and began to walk away.
Tom followed you, trying to convince you, his red eyes looking at you with a hint of desperation “No, no, Elisabeth, I really changed this time! You have to believe me! Look-”
You both stopped and he showed you the badge. «53-day anger-free streak»
Pride appeared in the demon's eyes “I even hired a life coach Brian, and I haven't been angry for 53 whole days!”
Your eyebrows went up. 53 days..? For a demon like Tom, it was very impressive.
Tom hid the badge again, and now he was looking at you with a hint of vulnerability “Maybe you'll change your mind after all..? I'm really trying for you.” The young man bit his lower lip.
