109: The plan for the Pearl - Part 1

"Aurora, are you hiding something from me? This is the second time I've seen you wander around aimlessly. You can tell me anything you want to."

Aurora knew she was sweating bullets as Clove interrogated her. Aurora had never been able to lie successfully to her wife and it seemed like this would not be any better either.

"I…That is to say…I was feeling a little pain in my back so I decided to come here and get myself checked out. I did not look for you since I knew you were busy."

Aurora had a lot of lies she could have told but remembered the best one right in the nick of time.

"Oh, and what did the doctor say?"

"I could not find her so I decided to head back. And then I ran into you."

Thankfully, Aurora had a handy system that could sense the doctor's current location and she seemed to have entered Natasha's room to check up on her.

Even if Clove was to feel for the doctor, she would not be able to conclude that Aurora had lied about this topic.
