Lina: Thomas, your basket is always such a classic single man’s shopping list! Mac ‘n cheese, yeh – peanut butter, instant noodles… It reminds me of Parker’s pantry when we were first dating! He was stunned the first time I cooked him a real meal!

Lina: I worry about him, living on that farm all by himself. It must get lonely.
Tara: He’s never had a long-term relationship?
Lina: A few, but they flamed out years ago. And there was us… but that was back in high school. I think Thomas just struggles to get close to people. Even if he likes them.
