Wordle #1129 – CADET
Virginia, on the other hand, is in an utter daze. Her gaze wanders between us, stupefied, and her mouth hangs slightly open.
“Jesus, stop being such a space cadet, Virginia!” Stevie hisses into our headphones.
This is enough to snap Virginia out of it. She closes her mouth and looks around like she’s just woken up—and then immediately goes back to being terrified of me. I’m not sure this is an improvement.
“Bree, I am so sorry that we’ve violated your boundaries like this,” Virginia says, her voice warbly with fear. She sounds more sorry for herself than for Bree. “You don’t have to stay if you feel even the slightest bit unsafe.”
Stevie and Kaitlyn shoot daggers at her but hold their tongues.
“No, it’s okay, Virginia,” Bree says soothingly. Then, she narrows her eyes at me. “I won’t let myself be intimidated.”
More like she’s loving the limelight too much to leave.
“Besides,” Bree smirks. “I can’t wait to hear this.”
And I can’t afford to waste any more time—the clock’s ticking.
Here goes nothing.
