"You aren't the first way-too-attractive person to be interested in me in recent years," he said. "A woman who worked for me back in New Jersey. It was pretty inexplicable.

That's what was attractive about me to her. She needed to fix things. I'm broken, and that's what she needed."

He paused. "You on the other hand just seem to genuinely like me, which is interesting."
