I was woken up by my phone ringing off the hook. Groggy, I answered, only to hear my agent, Jen, screaming.
"Girl, what did you do last night? You broke the internet!"
I opened Twitter with trembling hands.
Breaking! #LucasHaleMysteryWomanKiss Breaking! #LucasHaleDating
I clicked the hashtag. It was a video.
Under the dim streetlights, Lucas, dressed in all black, had a woman wrapped in his trench coat. One arm was around her waist, the other shielding her face.
The kiss was deep, lingering, and passionate.
At the end of the video, Lucas looked up, his gaze locking straight onto the camera.
I blushed watching it. I couldn't believe we got caught.
But the comments were... weird.
My man hasn't done a kiss scene in three years, and now he's trending for making out on the street? Sister-in-law looks hot. My bro has taste. That body, that hair... it's definitely his first love, Bella. Stop trying to make Bella happen. She's been irrelevant for years.
One user named @ClaireIsMyWife caught my eye. He was replying to almost every comment.
@ClaireIsMyWife: Fun fact: Lucas Hale wakes up smiling because he sees his beautiful wife next to him. That silhouette is 100% Claire Shen. Bet they're already married.
Someone argued with him: Were you there? Stop making stuff up.
@ClaireIsMyWife swore an oath: It is absolutely Claire Shen. If I'm wrong, I will eat sht on livestream.*
I gulped.
Isn't that... a bit extreme?!
