Kept Woman Page #2

OK!

A short break won't hurt, right?

What have you got?

All right, so, you remember

how the original suspect

was the brother-in-law, right?

He had an alibi, right?

That's what the press reported,

but guess who got hold

of the police report?

Mr. Goody Two-Shoes's story

has holes in it.

- Oh yeah?

- Mm-hmm!

Ah!

Yeah, I know what you're saying,

but who would he know that

had access to a forensics lab?

Who said he needed

to know anybody?

Jess! Is this thing on?

I'm over here!

We've been talking about

this all day! I gotta go!

All right, I'll catch you later.

OK.

Hey!

Hey, honey,

how..how was it?

Uh, it was brutal!

It, um, it was pretty much

bumper to bumper the entire way.

I'm sorry!

I hope dinner's not

too cold. I'm starving.

It's..it's not, because

I haven't started it yet.

- Oh.

- I'm sorry!

I just got caught up

with what I was doing.

No, that's OK.

I'm happy you had

a productive day.

I'll go whip up

a stir-fry or something.

- Did you finish your project?

- Not exactly.

Please don't tell me you

wasted an entire work day

on one of those

missing-persons cases.

No, I started on my project,

but then Oscar and I might

have made a breakthrough.

- Oscar?

- Yeah!

I don't wanna start something,

but I don't think it's fair

that you're chatting online

with some guy all day

while I'm out covering

the house payments.

I realize my name's

the only one on the mortgage,

but you promised we'd

be in this together.

You're right.

You're right.

And we are.

It's just the..

it's just the first day.

OK, OK.

Please, Evan!

Give me a half hour.

Simon!

Oh, hello!

Hey! I just wanted to say

thanks again for the wine.

We really enjoyed it.

I'm glad to hear that!

Do you have a cellar?

Well, how did you know that?

Oh, dust on the bottle.

I just kind of figured.

Hmm! You're

very perceptive.

Ah!

Listen, I hope I

didn't offend you

with my man-studies joke.

No! No, I've heard

them all before.

OK. Um, well,

I also was wondering

if you were free to join

us for dinner Thursday.

I'd love to.

Great! 7:
30?

Perfect! I'll see if

I can dig up something else

out of my cellar.

Perfect!

All right, well,

I will see you then!

- OK!

- OK! Bye!

Oh! I have to say this is..

this is amazing wine, Simon.

Well, I'm really glad

that you like it.

I just.. I feel kind of

guilty pairing it with barbecue.

No, no, no, no!

Now is the perfect time

to enjoy this one.

In fact, I fear had I left it

in my cellar one day longer,

it may have spoiled.

Hmm!

Besides, I think you're

selling yourself short,

because this looks to me

like some gourmet grilling.

Evan does most of

the cooking around here.

Yeah, it's nothing special.
