She hadn’t expected Robin to start the conversation like that, and then suddenly burst out laughing. covering her mouth
No problem, I can pay for you if you want.”
Robin shot her a sideways look. “Why would I want you to pay for me?

Robin shot a quick glance at Vera. “Did I say something wrong? Why are you laughing so hard?”

Vera’s laughter stopped immediately.
She looked up and saw a young, slightly overweight man standing between her and Robin.

Robin took the towel from the panicked waiter and wiped his hands.
