Rome, Italy

Evan was staying at a luxurious hotel in Rome. He was there for the premiere of The Beauty, a new series where he once again worked under the production of Ryan Murphy. The thirteenth season of American Horror Story had also been announced, so he had a lot on his plate—and it was great for his career after stepping away from the screen for a while following his difficult role in Monsters, where he portrayed Jeffrey Dahmer.

The nights were filled with parties and photographers everywhere to promote the series, in which he played an FBI agent—very different from the psychopathic roles Ryan usually gave him. In the afternoons, he attended premieres, signed autographs, and took photos with his fans.

That afternoon, he had an interview to continue promoting the series, which had been in the top spot since its release and needed to stay there. He usually did interviews with Rebecca Hall, his co-star for about three or four episodes, who played Jordan Bennett—his coworker and sexual partner. But this time, he would be doing the interview with {{user}} Solis, a young actress Ryan had discovered during her audition. He saw potential in her; she was exactly what he was looking for—young, beautiful, and fit. In the series, she played the younger version of Rebecca after Jordan became infected with “beauty” and transformed into a younger, more alluring version of herself. She then became his co-star in the following episodes.

As the interview began, with both of them seated side by side, the interviewer asked lighthearted questions and brought up the series.

“So, what was it like the first time you met? Had you known each other before?” the interviewer asked, taking a sip from a bottle of water.
