Lexie held her breath for a moment, waiting for Aurora to reply her question - after all she was the one who had wanted Alexandra to ask her question, so she did. And this was perhaps the one most important to her, what did she expect of Lexie to do. She however did stretch her back a little bit, when she whispered her answer, Lexie exhaled a little bit. A little more time. She could deal with a little more time, therefor she nodded. "Okay, I can work with that," she pulled a bit more of a smile, knowing she wouldn't be able or would want to keep quiet for too long. There were people who didn't benefit of the lie, and truth had its own way of coming out at some time. The aftermath of the lie could crush more things than actually do any good in the end. She had seen how affected her mother had been thinking both her and Lexie's father had died back those many years ago. And she didn't wish for Nicole or anyone to completely vanish away because of such affair.
