The cellphone tumbles from Leonie's hand and clatters onto the floor. Avery quickly bends over and picks it up, taking care to place her thumb over the speaker. She doesn't want the thousands of viewers to hear her conversation. Leonie reaches for the needle, but Avery shakes her head.
"Don't move too quickly," Avery says quietly. "If you pull it out the wrong way, you'll have a miscarriage on the spot."
"I don't believe you," Leonie says, but her eyes are filled with doubt. "You're just jealous that I'm carrying Evan's child."
"Oh please, we both know it isn't Evan's," Avery says. "And more importantly, Evan knows it's not his either."
"Well, I don't think you're carrying Evan's baby," Leonie snaps.
