Wordle #1172 – FAINT
“You’re right,” Bree says, lowering her voice to avoid further attention. “It’s not like I set you up on accident. Obviously…”
She lets out a faint, humorless laugh that’s gone as quickly as it came. Then her gaze grows distant, like she’s trying to peer into the past.
“I think a part of me always suspected that Roy still carried a torch for you. He only ever had nice things to say about you. He was always coming to your defense. It made me jealous…” There’s a bitterness in her voice, bitterer than a quadruple IPA. “And then when he said that he never should have divorced you—”
She laughs again.
“I-I don’t know. I just lost it. I thought you were responsible for everything that had happened. I wanted to get back at you for taking Roy away from me, for ruining my life. I wanted to punish you.”
She says this simply, detachedly, like it was the obvious conclusion for her. But then she shakes her head at herself.
Notes:
I’ll be busy for the next few days but will resume daily updates soon!
