Oh, you could bet Ed would be having a talk with his girlfriend, but it wouldn't be to ask if she'd lied to him. He trusted the girl he loved a lot more than a woman who would speak so poorly of her own child.
"I'm sure," he stated a little coldly, even though the damage had seemingly already been done. He didn't believe for a minute that Ashleigh had really needed to pee at that moment and once the women had both le left the table, he turned to Ashleigh's father.
"If you'll excuse me, sir," he said as politely as he could manage, "I'd like to go check on my girlfriend, see if she's alright." He didn't see how she could be after that and it took every ounce of self-control to wait for a response from the man rather than immediately getting up to follow the girl.
