I don't know Amber, so unfortunately I cannot tell you exactly what her response meant. But I would like to say that if it were ME, and if I spilled my heart out only for someone to say "Yeah, I KINDA feel the same," I think that would be my cue to find someone more appreciative of me. If those nights were as magical for her as they were for you, she wouldn't give a flying fuck about Tom. Of course I could be completely wrong, but this is how I would interpret it if I were in your position. If those nights were so magical, she would not give you any reason to think she feels otherwise.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you have to wonder about her response, you're probably thinking harder about her than what she is about you. I hope you don't dislike me saying that.

On the bright side, you're clearly a great writer and great with words, so I truly doubt you'll have trouble finding another. If you were to ask me what I think, I would tell you to do your thing, allow other women to connect with you emotionally (you don't want to block someone out who could be "the one") and if Amber genuinely wants you she will speak up.
