The duo claimed their phone wasn’t working, and Evans invited them in to dry off and use their internet to find the house they were looking for. As the girls dry themselves off, they begin to flirt with Evans as he orders an Uber for the girls. The duo disappeared into Evans’s bathroom when the driver arrived to pick them up.
