If he wasn't trying to get back at them, Muldoon would be inclined to agree. Midge is much younger, prettier, and sophisticated than he would expect to go out with, but they don't need to know that.

"I'm going to make sure she does," he answers in complete and utter honesty. He already owes Midge and they've only just stepped in through the door. "She deserves the best."

Spotting the barest glimpse of his boss, Muldoon takes the inspiration for a getaway. "If you'll excuse us, I think John is looking to make some introductions." He gives a polite nod before putting his hand on Midge's back to help guide her away.

Once they're a safe distance, he leans in as surreptitiously as possible to mutter a quiet, "Thank you."
