Nichole

I love books, I love reading, I love bookstores. I could spend hours upon hours in a book store. A used book store or any type of bookstore. My favorite bookstore is the one with plush couches and a snack and drink counter. If I had to pick the spot where I'd meet 'The One' it probably would be at a bookstore. Although I also would say that it would never happen because I'm too into looking at books to notice anyone around me, all I notice is the books they are looking at or reading.

I also love crime, not committing it but solving it. The people who commit crimes for pure selfish reasons are the lowest of the low. I love solving crimes that puts the perpetrator in jail for his or her selfish crimes. The only way I could meet 'The One' is if he worked with the police, fire or ambulance departments or even another detective. That would be unlikely though. They would eventually end up distracting me from my job and duties. I am Nichole Galt, young detective.

Xavier

I love books, I love bookstores, and obviously I love reading. I could spend my life in a book store. My favorite bookstore has those luxury, sink into them, couches that you never want to leave and it has a drink and food section with the most delicious beverages and food. I go there often as often as I can. A small, very small, portion of me hopes that I'll meet 'il mio unico vero amore quello che avra il mio tutto' (my one true love the one that will have my all) but alas if I meet her I must let her go.

I want to say I love crime, I can't. I have to do it. It is a part of my life, a part of who I am. Crime is just a duty to do. It has been the 'family business' since my family came to America. I never rob people, I never steal, I just loan and then collect. I can't find my 'il mio unico vero amore quello che avra il mio tutto' because when I do she will be my weakness. I will not let her get caught in the cross fires of the job, even if it means breaking her heart and mine. She will heal over time and I will have to act as if I did too. I am Xavier Accardo, mafia head boss.
