Todd Peterson is a widower & Jess's long-time FWB 

FWB - Friend with Benefits


She's involved casually with him at the beginning of The Whore of Scrabylon.

Mandy Peterson is Todd's wife who passed away

Jess knew them both from high school, Mandy was on the Flag Corps with Jess. She saw Todd again at Mandy’s funeral and again at a reunion and after that, they became good friends and then FWB.


Living in Baltimore, this Counting Crows song is one that Todd and Jess especially love.

They love to be able to spend rainy weekends in bed with Jess's dogs, the Scrabble board and Chinese delivery.

I'll Be

by Edwin McCain

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

[Chorus:]
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive -- not dead.
Tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

[Chorus]

And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

[Chorus:]
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life.
