Part of her was a little annoyed by the fact that he denied having any girlfriend at all -- which put him near the top of her list of 'people who needed to be stabbed in the eye with a screwdriver.' -- especially after he'd left her such a heartfelt message on her voicemail that could have very well implied otherwise.... Or it could have implied that Jesse had nothing better to do and no one else to talk to while he was eating breakfast that morning.
"Then what the hell are you do--"

"Jesse?" Tulip pulled the phone away from her ear, the screen flashing a 'call ended' message across it and if she had been mad at Jesse Custer before, she was fucking infuriated with him now. He'd hung up on her. He'd hung up. On her. Like they were a pair of teenagers in an argument about whether or not they'd go to the prom with one another. Her fingers worked rapidly over the keypad the moment that she'd pulled it back up on the phone display, dialing Jesse's number right back.
"That fuckin' asshole! Who does he even think he is? Leavin' me some convoluted message about pancakes and then hangin' up on me? Really?" She kicked the trunk of her car hard, Carlos' muffled cries echoing from it. "I swear to God, Carlos, I'm choppin' his balls off and puttin' 'em right next to yours on my mantlepiece. Just you fuckin' wait." She spoke to the man, who likely couldn't even hear her, as she listened to the phone ring on the other end of the line.
He was really tempted to just let it keep ringing but he finally answered it and before Tulip could start yelling at him or even if she was mid sentence.
"Fuck, Tulip, Sheriff Root is after me I'm trying to stay out of jail. I'll talk to you later."
"Listen there, Jesse Custer, you don't just do hangin' up on me! I dunno who the hell you think you are, but I ain't just some floozy that you picked up--" Tulip's words were cut short by Jesse's explanation. Or lack thereof one, since he didn't exactly do much of elaborating on why he should have been thrown in jail. Wasn't he like the one person in that damned town that everybody loved like he was Jesus Christ himself?
"Whatever. I'm gonna be in town in a few hours and your ass better get to explainin' what the hell it is that you're talking about. You got me?"
Now it was Tulip's turn to hang up on him, and she did, the line going dead with a resounding click.
"You better make room, Carlos, you might end up havin' a friend in there with you soon enough."
