Eve heard the 'click' sound of when a call ends.
She sent a prayer that it would turn out okay. It would solve many future problems, not just this time. She didn't have a car so this may happen again. She also mostly spent time at home. She'd love for Evangeline to have the same habit.

"Don't worry, Eve. We'll figure this out," Avery assured her in a soothing voice, "Where are you right now?"
"I'm in the bathroom. I made an excuse that I needed to use it." Eve looked at the phone's time. Almost 10 minutes had gone by. Ambryan must be suspicious. If he decided to peek in, he'd find no line for the women's bathroom.
She'd have no choice but to say she took a Number 2.
Unlike her, Avery remained optimistic. "So, we still have some time. Let's think of a backup solution if the apartment is unavailable."
