[y.winter]

Tom thinks he stands a chance with Charlotte, but can't read the clear signs she sends him.
He was convinced that she'll come out of her shell when Mandy's gone, but that's how she is. According to Mandy she didn't restrain while her mother was in the house and won't hold back either in the future.
Tom is just juvenile and thinks every girl is impressed by his good looks or unamusing tricks.
