"Ewww! That's the truth???" Aurora exclaims, "You SLEPT with him?! Seriously?

Lilith closes her eyes with a desperate look, dying under Aurora's judgy looks, "Accidently, okay? The key word is accident!"

Now that makes sense. Lilith used to be the one handling most of my "code reds". I can't imagine two enemies just suddenly fall in love. But then again, Gabriel looked deeply in love though... "But Gabriel?!" Aurora takes a deep breath to calm herself, only to burst out again, "It's...Gabriel!"

Lilith looks just as devastated as Aurora.
