Kept Woman Page #3

Just simple stuff, really.

Things like

stir-fries or pasta,

anything that doesn't

take a ton of prep or...

Really?

Ah!

So you don't cook?

I can reheat with

the best of them.

She makes a mean rhubarb pie.

I haven't made one in a while.

Tell me about it!

Well, you used to make them for

me when I did something good.

Now, I don't think I've been

pie-worthy for quite some time.

That isn't true.

Well, I'm, uh, impressed.

And I don't know how I would

survive without TV dinners.

They still make those?

They're a bit of a relic

of a bygone era, I guess,

but then again, so am I.

I come from a very

traditional house.

And my father provided,

and my mother would cook,

And she would threaten

to stab anyone

who would set foot

in her kitchen

with a butcher knife!

The good old days!

You must get lonely in

that house all by yourself.

Yes. I wasn't always.

Oh.

I used to live in

it with my fiance,

but I suppose the white

picket fence wasn't for her.

I'm sorry.

It's OK!

I'm sure she's very happy

with the guy that she

was cheating on me with,

so cheers!

Well, I..I can't even

look at another woman

without Jess sensing it.

Ah! The possessive type, huh?

I think the word you're

looking for is "intuitive."

Well, she's that too.

Did she tell you that she's

not only a graphic designer,

but also a part-time

crime fighter?

No, she didn't!

It's just a hobby.

I'm part of an online

group that works

to dig up information

on old cases.

I think I've heard of this.

This is a sort of

crowdsourced crime-fighting.

It's a lot of work that

usually leads nowhere.

But you are drawn to what

you're drawn to, I guess.

Absolutely.

She also wants to write a book.

Wants to?

What's stopping you?

I haven't found

the right story, I guess.

Well, maybe your new life

will help you discover it.

- Maybe!

- Yeah!

Are you sure he's

not seeing anyone?

That's what he told me.

That's weird.

I could've sworn

I smelled perfume on him.

Well, maybe it's just

some fancy cologne.

Hmm... maybe.

You know, you should set one

of your girlfriends up with him.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm afraid they'd all be

too possessive like me.

Oh! Come on!

When we first started dating,

you went into my closet,

and you put a bunch of lipstick

on all my shirt collars.

Oh! Now, why

would I do that?

Oh, I don't know,

maybe to show all the women

that I was already taken.

Oh!

Simon!

Hey!

Oh! Hi!

Hi! I'm, uh, trying

to do some gardening,

but this worked for

my window planters,

but do you have anything

with a little more heft?

The handle on mine broke,

and I haven't gotten

around to replacing it.

OK. Uh, I'll just wait for
