Cry of the Owl Page #3

---

you're too cut off.

I love living out here.

This is my dream home.

Dream home?

If you pull on it,

it's just going to get worse.

Please, will you let

me fix this for you?

No. I like it like that.

It reminds me of Jimmy Stewart's

loose banister.

What?

- 'Lt's A Wonderful Life'?

- It sure is.

That's a nice shirt, I've not seen

that one on you before.

This? Sure you have.

Greg, I have to get to the oven.

Well, I am not going

to let you go, Jenny.

What? Ever?

That's right.

We are never gonna

move from this spot.

And what will we do for food?

Well, we can eat each other.

Greg, the chicken pie's gonna get...

it's gonna get burnt.

- What?

- She's hot.

- Well, you seem to think so.

- You don't think so?

What are you, blind?

She was all over you last week.

I'll set you up with her if you want.

I don't know, Jack.

What with the divorce and everything...

I'm just not interested

at the moment, I guess.

Robert!

Oh, hi.

Jack, this is...

this is...

- Jenny.

- Jenny.

Jenny Thireolf.

Nice to meet you.

Well, it's getting late.

I'm gonna be late for... something.

I can't think of what, but

I shouldn't be late for it?

I hope you don't mind me

coming by like this.

No. No. Not at all.

You look a little surprised.

Well, I'm a little surprised, yeah...

You came to see if I really work

here or not, right?

No. No, I believed you.

I knew you were telling the truth.

I was just hoping we could

talk some more, that's all.

Why did you pick me?

My house?

I'm curious.

I'd really like to know.

Well, I was just driving

around in my car and...

I saw you on your porch,

you were beating a rug I think.

And then you, you went inside.

And I just felt I had to come back

to see you again.

You know, I have been thinking

a lot about the other night.

I think you wanted me to catch you.

What?

I think you did.

Why would I want you to do that?

I don't know.

Cry for help, maybe?

So does your boyfriend know

you're out with me tonight?

We've... we've broken up, actually.

Well, it's sort of a trial

separation for a month or so.

Oh, right.

He asked me to marry him.

And it's weird, but I instantly

knew that I didn't want to.

And then I thought...

if I don't want to marry him,

why am I still with him?

Well, you'll probably feel better

after some time apart.

You'll get back together again,

I'm sure.

No. I decided it's over.

Hello?

Could we make our appointment

Tuesday instead of Monday?

Do I have a choice?

What do you think?

Tuesday it is.

Good night.

I've just had the worst day ever.

Look Nickie... I don't mean

to be funny or anything, but...

it's actually three in the morning.

Hello?

I really wish I'd never met you.
