WHILST RICK, DARYL, Shane and T-dog had took it upon themselves to investigate the basement generations, Ophelia had taken a seat at one of the empty desks. Anxiously tapping on the hollow table, before Lori had come over.
She scratched the back of her head, addressing Ophelia in a hushed whisper as she said, "thank you, for not saying anything this morning. You really saved my skin, hun."
Ophelia sighed, briefly looking around her before replying in an equally quiet voice. "He said anything to you this morning?"
Lori shook her head. "No. I don't think he'd risk it. If I haven't been with Rick, I've been with Carl."
Ophelia nodded. "Good." She then pursed her lips, hesitating before she asked, "have you put any more thought into telling Rick about it?"
The wavy haired woman looked down at her feet and folded her arms over her chest. "We've been through this. I don't wanna add more cracks into our relationship."
"What do you mean?"
Lori took a deep breath, leaning against the desk Ophelia was perched on, her voice barely audible as she said, "our relationship isn't the best right now, Okay? Before this whole thing, we would constantly argue and we seem happy now, he is happy now, but I'm not. I'm constantly having to live with the guilt of sleeping- leaving him behind in Atlanta."
Ophelia caught onto her slip up. Though, Lori was quick to cement over the brick she let lose.
"Look, hun. I just don't wanna damage what we have left." Lori then offered her a small, awkward smile, before she walked over towards her son and Sophia.
Ophelia stayed, chewing on her bottom lip and debating what to make of Lori's slip up, when eventually Daryl, Rick, T-dog and Shane had come back into the room, their footsteps like thunder. Though, as they entered, they were still unsure of what was happening.
Carol then asked, "Why is everything turned of?"
"And the lights in our room?" Andrea added, Griffin following her closely behind when together they walked in. Ophelia smirked at this, and gave her brother a playful look.
"Energy is being prioritised." Jenner replied.
"Air isn't a priority?"
"It's not up to me, zone 5 is shutting itself down."
Ophelia disliked his tone very much. Something eery and dark was deep within voice, of which sent a chill down the girls spine.
