Should I lie to my employer about my reason for sick leave?

My partner recently got a job offer in another state and they are paying for us to fly there to check it out. Work is usually OK about me requesting time off for a vacation, but the only other employee in the office already requested those days off. I don't want to risk them saying no, I know they will since the office wouldn't be staffed. So I was thinking of just calling out sick for those three days. Problem is , I feel super guilty lying about it. Also I was just super sick a week ago and teleworked , so it feels weird to say I got sick again with only two weeks between. Any advice would be helpful.
