Wordle #1027 – LOUSE
“Yeah, well, you didn’t…” I say reproachfully.
“No, I guess I didn’t,” Bree sighs, actually sounding ashamed. I glance over to her. Her face droops with a hangdog expression, looking lower than a louse on a dachshund’s belly, as my grandma used to say. Or, something like that.
To Bree’s credit, she doesn’t try to fill the silence with more excuses, or more lies. She sighs again and reaches into the backseat to pet Lola.
“That was pretty ballsy of you, to invite me over to your place when I could’ve stumbled over Roy’s body,” I say, and I realize I’m reflexively trying to cheer her up, to compliment her. “I almost did.”
“Not really. I’d locked the bathroom door. How stupid do you think I am?” Bree says and rolls her eyes. She hasn’t been this offended since, well, about a minute ago.
