She frowned and told her friends something loudly, making sure that Emmit could hear her too. “He must be military or something,” she moaned, passive-aggressively. “But we paid for our seats, so he still should have to wait.” Emmit couldn’t have believed what she said. He did not, however, want to create a scene at the airport. He tried to think of excuses for her conduct. She assumed, obviously, that he couldn’t afford a first-class ticket. Was she implying what he thought she was implying?
