Jonah asked Theo. “Dude, you just got here. Where are you running off to now?”

Theo casually replied, “I’ve gotta make a phone call”

Jonah didn’t push it. He turned to Kemp and said, “What do you think is up with Theo and Ellinor? Ellinor is pregnant, you know.”

Kemp shot him a glance. “Mind your own business!”

Jonah just chuckled and then turned to Bartlett, who was sitting across from him, nursing a drink. “I couldn’t help but notice that you seem pretty concerned about Ellinor. You guys go way back or something? How come I’ve never heard about you guys being connected before?”

Bartlett smiled in response. “Didn’t I tell you guys? I’ve known Ellinor for a long time, even before she met Theo.”

Jonah paused for a second, sensing some underlying meaning in Bartlett’s tone. He glanced at Kemp, and they exchanged a knowing look.
