AURORA AND ANDREA EXCHANGED LOOKS, knowing that they had both damaged the trust Shane and Rick had in them. Aurora wasn't so bothered about Shane, but Rick, on the other hand, was a bridge she didn't want to burn.

She kissed her teeth, annoyed with the lack of guns in the group, before turning on her heel to follow Andrea, who had started towards Shane. Aurora couldn't tell what Andrea's stance was with Shane. She had mentioned before that he was handsome, but they argue over anything and everything. But then they also exchange looks with each other when they think no one else is looking.

"Give up our guns?" Andrea asked, watching Shane put guns into a duffel bag. Aurora took her spot next to Andrea, her arms folded across her chest.

"You heard Rick," Shane sighed, "we're guests here."

"Com'n, Shane," Aurora scoffed, "you don't agree with him, do you?"

Shane glared up at Aurora, his eyebrows raised. He softened his gaze, looking almost sympathetic. Deep down, Aurora could see that Shane didn't agree with Rick's judgement. No one did. But, this was as close to safety as they had been in a while. And at least there wasn't no weapons. Aurora still had her knife, and that was good enough.

"I don't recall being asked," he replied, simply, "now lay down your weapon-"

"You may like rolling over, but I don't," Andrea scowled, reluctant to hand over Aurora's gun.

"Look, I have to strip and clean them anyway," Shane said, trying his hardest to avoid conflict.

Aurora nudged Andrea slightly, gesturing for her to place the gun on the table. With a sigh, Andrea did so, shaking her head in annoyance. Shane licked his lips and smirked, forgetting that Aurora was still stood next to Andrea. There was an uncomfortable silence - well, it was probably more than comfortable for Andrea and Shane - which prompted Aurora to leave.

Aurora found Glenn under a tree, binoculars to his face. Before she approached him, her eyes wondered to what he was looking at. She clenched her jaw, staring at Maggie, who was riding her horse towards them. Her brown hair was bouncing as the horse galloped. She side eyed Glenn, who hadn't noticed she was stood next to him.

"Hello, farmer's daughter." Glenn muttered. Aurora coughed loudly, folding her arms. Glenn spun around, almost smacking Aurora with the binoculars. He smiled sheepishly. Aurora became conscious of her expression and smiled lightly. Just friends she reminded herself.

"I was just checking for walkers," Glenn said, scratching the back of his head. Aurora felt a lump in her throat, but she swallowed it down, gritting her teeth.

"I'm sure you were," Aurora rolled her eyes, "farmer's daughter."

"You heard that?" Glenn asked, rubbing his face, embarrassed. Part of Aurora wanted to tell Glenn that it was weird to spy on a stranger, and another part wanted to ask Glenn whether he was just looking for sex, or had a genuine attraction. But she shook her head subtly. Why did she care so much?

"So, I'm guessing you like Maggie?" Aurora muttered, without thinking. Glenn's eyes widened, and he began to gesture to say no, when Lori appeared behind them with a list.
