"The girl turns red before saying, "I was wondering if I could have your number. I think you're really handsome and really nice." She holds out her phone, looking down sheepishly. Xavier smiles out of habit in response to the compliment, entirely uncomfortable with the situation. He's a specialist in breaking up, not with dating people."
