Peter appears to be the only person that Tom is comfortable being somewhat himself and develops anything like a romantic relationship with. He appears genuinely devastated that he needs to kill Peter to maintain his secret. His relationship with Meredith appears very staged - he could probably have used her as a vehicle to disappear from Italy if he had been genuinely attracted to her. He chose Peter, who doesn't seem to be in the same class of money - while not poor he is a choir director and musician - not a socialite.
