Wordle #1025 – MERGE
“It all happened so fast. I tried to wake him up, at first, but by the time I got to my phone to call for help, he was… gone.”
I let that sink in for a moment, saying nothing as I merge into the left lane. The turn signal clicks, then stops. Lola’s tags jingle as she scratches at her collar.
“You were absolutely sure he was dead? That nothing could’ve been done to help him?”
“Of course, I was sure! Believe me, if you saw what I saw…” Bree shudders at the memory, wrapping her arms around herself like she’s cold. “And then I started panicking—”
Started covering her tracks, more like.
“—I should’ve called 911 anyway, I know, but I was too scared to think clearly.”
There’s a hitch in her voice, but I can’t tell if it’s because she’s keeping something from me or because she’s genuinely upset. I wish I could examine her expression for any cracks in the facade instead of piloting this stupid car. The Tesla beeps some sort of complaint at me, like the feeling’s mutual.
