Wordle #1032 – SHANK
“Wait! Cecilia—ow!” Bree bumps the shank of her leg against the door as she scrambles out of the car after me. “Cecilia, please, just give me a moment.”
“You’ve already said enough,” I remark coolly, walking away.
Bree heads me off, standing stubbornly between me and the sidewalk leading to my apartment, so I stop. What else am I supposed to do, shoulder-check her?
“Cecilia…”
She looks around cagily to make sure we’re alone. There’s no one else on the walkway, nobody going in or out of the nearby apartments, but still, she lowers her voice to an earnest whisper.
“If you were the one who had done something wrong, I wouldn’t turn you in,” Bree persists. Her eyes burn with painful sincerity. “You know I wouldn’t.”
No, she wouldn’t. She didn’t…
Bree must have noticed that she hit a weak spot, because she homes in—
“I’m begging you, just for tonight, please don’t do anything. Just… think it over.”
—and strikes.
“After all these years of friendship, after everything I’ve done for you, is it really so much to ask?”
