Evelin's POV
I was about to take the call when Jimmy's grip tightened around me. "Don't answer it," he whispered, his voice rough and close to my ear.
"Cut it out," I laughed quietly, but I hit the answer button anyway and brought the phone up.
"Evelin," Allen's voice came through.
"Hey, what's going on?" I responded, feeling Jimmy's arms squeeze me a bit tighter.
"Are you actually with Jimmy?" Allen asked suddenly, catching me off guard.
I got it right away. Someone must have secretly recorded today's interview and posted it online. The footage probably showed Grace's engagement announcement to Grey, plus that moment when the host grilled me about Jimmy and me. That explains Allen's random call, I realized, letting out a quiet breath.
I'd been completely honest about my relationship with Jimmy on that show.
Allen obviously saw those clips too, I figured.
"Yeah, we're together," I confirmed without missing a beat.
Allen went quiet on the other end.
