It's somewhere around 7am. Tom is laying on the couch with Stella sleeping soundly over top of him. He wakes up, looks around slightly disoriented trying to figure out where he is and why this girl is sleeping on him. And then he remembered the nights previous events. He looks down at the golden hair and smiles, carefully caressing it with his free hand. Within a moment's time, Will Turner, a guest of the house, walks in. He sees them together and asks "What the hell are you doing here? How'd you get in?". Tom figured it was too early to bicker with anyone so he answered truthfully without any sly remarks. Will accepted his answers seeing as how it wasn't entirely unusual for Stella to successfully sneak people in the house.

He looked the pair over a minute trying to figure out if anything suspicious went down while everyone was in slumber. He noticed the way Stella was sleeping. Normal people sleep the same way every time regardless of any emotional struggles that took place before hand. But not her. Whenever she's been emotionally upset, the way sleeps is noticeably different. Well, noticeable for him anyway. He spends more than enough of his time creeping on her. "She's been crying hasn't she?" Will asked breaking the silence. Tom looked at him and said "Yes. She cried herself to sleep actually". Will could hear the sadness in his voice. He watched Tom interact with Stella. Some gestures just looked all too familiar.

"Pardon me asking and I know this is a bit off the wall but, have you kissed her at all?" Tom was slightly afraid of this question. He knows little to nothing about the girl laying on his stomach. For all he knows she could have a boyfriend the size of thor waitng to crush him for kanoodling with his woman. "She kissed me first I swear"he confirmed. Will's eyes narrowed, zooming in on Tom's face. "Did she kiss you passionately? Could you just feel a rush of emotion flowing through you? A kiss so hot it litterally burns you?". Tom's face tensed up as he heard this. How could he be so dead on? Surely he must have been through the same experience. He nodded his head in reply"Yeah". Will shook his head and said "I'm so sorry mate. Your life has been ruined forever". Tom furrowed his brows together. "What do you mean by that?" "She's been blessed with a curse. Anyone she kisses with a burning passion ends up falling in love with her. Whether you want to or not. The feeling fades away after awhile, but it'll never truly leave you. That burning sensation you feel? That sudden desperate need for you to be at her side? You wanting to touch and hold every inch of her being? It's strong isn't it? You could try to resist, but that won't do you any good. It's best just to give in to the feeling. You're stuck mate". Tom couldn't believe what this guy was telling him. He looked at Stella, then back at Will. "I'm not—I'm not in love with her" "Yeah. Sure. Keep telling yourself that" Will said heavy with sarcasm. There's no way I can be in love with her Tom thought to himself. He literally just met her yesterday. Will took this opportunity to leave the room and give Tom a minute to think about his current predicament.
