Midge wrinkles her nose, because these guys are more disgusting than she expected them to be and they’re treating Robert awfully. He can’t even get a word in. She makes a split second decision, the consequences of which she does not think all the way through.
“He’s my boyfriend!” In the silence that follows, Midge composes herself and rephrases. “We’ve been seeing each other for a few weeks.” The hand that’s on his elbow moves discreetly down to slip into his.
The men are absolutely stunned, which is the response that Midge was hoping for. They’ve finally shut up.
“Did you want to say something, darling?” she asks, turning to Robert.
