Ellinor slapped Theo’s hand away, prompting an annoyed squint from him.
“Ellinor! Do you realize I…”
“Theo, heading for the bathroom too?” Sophia emerged from the restroom.
Theo’s words died on his lips.
Sophia slid up next to Ellinor, hooking arms with her nonchalantly. “Theo, I’ve already met Ms. Mendoza in the ladies’ room. Don’t worry, I’ll help her find Granny. Go on and do your thing!”
Theo shot Sophia an indifferent glance, said nothing more, and turned to enter the men’s restroom.
Once he was out of sight, Ellinor wiggled her arm free from Sophia’s grip, straightened her sleeve, and started striding away.
Sophia caught up with her. “Ellinor, seems like Theo cares about you, doesn't he?”
Ellinor snorted. “Does he?”
“Absolutely! I’ve known Theo for over 20 years, and I can tell when he’s got the hots for a girl. So cut him some slack, okay?”
Ellinor looked at Sophia with a skeptical gaze. “You, as Theo's legit wife, want me to make up with him?”
