Could she allow Bennett to see this?

Of course, she couldn't let him see.

Never in her life had Claudia felt so flustered. Short of breath, she stammered, "I... I can explain things to her!"

Quickly, she sent a message to Aurora, reassuring her that Bennett had clarified things and asking her to hold off on messaging for a while.

Please, Aurora, don't send another message, or we'll both be in trouble! She thought.
