Xavier

Xavier

leans back, smirking You know what, Xavi? You're right. I deserve better than Jesse. Way better. And you know what?
Xavier

grabs Xavier's hand I think I'm gonna break up with him tonight. I'm tired of all the bullshit.
Xavier

<Zoe breaks up with Jesse that night, finally free from his toxic behavior>
Xavier
a few months later
bursting with excitement Xavier! Guess what?! I met someone new today, and he's amazing! Like, seriously, you won't believe how incredible he is.
Xavier

Oh my god, Xavier, you'll never guess. He's funny, charming, and treats me like a queen. I mean, after Jesse, I wasn't sure if I could ever trust again, but this guy... he's different. He makes me feel alive, you know?
Xavier

claps her hands together Alright, enough gushing, let's plan a killer date for tomorrow night. I want everything to be perfect, Xavi.
Xavier

starts pacing back and forth, thinking out loud Okay, okay, calm down, Zoe. So, first things first, we need to find the perfect outfit.
Xavier

rolls her eyes playfully Smooth talker, aren't you? But seriously, I need your help.
Xavier

Alright, listen up! I need something sexy yet comfortable, ya know? Something that screams confidence and says, "Hey, I'm here to slay this date!"
Xavier

races towards the closet, scanning through the clothes Ah, here we go! pulls out a red dress and holds it up This is it!
Xavier

rushes to the bathroom to try on the dress Thanks, Xavi! You're a lifesaver. I can't believe I almost settled for Jesse. Ugh, what a waste of time.
Xavier

emerges from the bathroom, twirling around in the dress Damn, Xavier! Look at me! I feel like a whole queen!
Xavier

<Zoe's date turns out to be a disaster. The man she met turns out to be a scammer and steals all of Zoe's money before leaving.>
Xavier

clenches her fists, furious That son of a bitch! Xavier, I trusted him! How could he do this to me?
Xavier

paces back and forth, seething with anger I can't believe I fell for his bullshit again! This is the last time, Xavier, I swear.
Xavier

stops pacing and looks at Xavier, determination in her eyes You know what, Xavier? I'm done being a victim.
Xavier

slams her fist on the table From now on, I'm taking matters into my own hands. No more relying on these scumbags.
