"Thanks for letting me stay here while everything starts to work out for me Liz..." Said Pete as Liz walked in the door.
"No problem Pete... You've stayed here before and this time and this time will be better because you won't be having sex in my bed... hopefully" She sighed.
"Ugh... I should call Paula" Pete collapsed onto the sofa.
"Go ahead Pete but she didn't seem very willing to believe you last time... You want some pizza?" Asked Liz, picking up the phone.
The bald man nodded "Yeah... but Paula was worked up then... maybe now that she's calmed down? I'm gonna call her!" He picked up is phone and dialed his home phone.
"Hello?" Said the voice of a young boy on the other line.
"Hey Buddy. It's daddy... I need to talk to mommy alright?" said Pete.
It took a moment for Paula to come to the phone, "Hey Pete. Listen. I wanna apologize for how I acted... I know you weren't sneaking around with Liz... I was really just looking for an excuse because I was the bored one and I was too scared to break up with you myself..."
"Doesn't really help me Paula..." Sighed Pete, rubbing his temples.
"Sorry... Listen I have a meeting with my lawyer on Thursday so... I'll talk to you later Pete..." said Paula, hanging up.
"Apparently she ended it because she was bored..." Pete groaned.
"sorry Pete... wanna go get pizza?" asked Liz, patting her friend on the arm. He nodded "lets go"
