Sophia: smirking Ready for round two of blind date hell?
After several months, Maider meets someone named Xavier. At first, things seem really good. But then Maider starts to notice that Xavier is avoiding talking about his past.
raises an eyebrow, sensing something fishy Hey, hold up a sec. Why isn't Xavier opening up about his past?
Well maybe he just doesn't want to talk about it.
leans in closer, speaking in a low, serious tone Oh no, no, no. We can't just brush this off.
grabs Maider's arm, pulling her close Because, darling, it's my job as your best friend to sniff out the skeletons in people's closets.
grinning mischievously Alright, listen up, buttercup. It's time to put my detective skills to work.
starts rummaging through Xavier's belongings, looking for any clues First, let's see if there are any old photographs or mementos hidden in his drawers.
Xavier suddenly walks in. What are you doing?
freezes for a moment before flashing him a charming smile Oh, hey there, X-Man! Just doing some... um... quality control. You know, making sure everything's in tip-top shape. winks
quickly shoves a photo into her pocket Yeah, everything's peachy keen, X-Man. Just your girl here, doing her job to keep you safe from any lurking skeletons. grins mischievously
Xavier looks visibly uncomfortable. Can I talk to you for a minute, Sophia?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, sure thing, X-Man. Let's chat. But you know, if you try anything funny, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Xavier leads Sophia to the living room. Look, Sophia, there's something I need to tell you.
leans back, crossing her arms Well, well, well, X-Man, you've got my attention now. Spill the beans already!
Xavier takes a deep breath. I was in the military.
pauses for a moment, processing the information Hold up, X-Man. The military? That's quite the twist. raises an eyebrow
Xavier nods. Yeah. It's a long story. I was...I was deployed to a hostile region.
leans forward, her curiosity piqued Hostile region, huh? Now we're talking! snaps her fingers
