Wordle #994 - CHEER
I start clicking through Austin’s photos, being sure to check the tags as well.
There are no overt signs of Bree. No pics of the two of them canoodling like lovebirds—not even a glimpse of her in the background.
But then she’s tagged in another photo.
I slide the laptop closer to my face, squinting to inspect the photo pixel by pixel. I really should’ve put my glasses back on for this…
Not only is it not a picture of Bree, it’s not a photo of anyone at all:
Two nearly empty wine glasses stand amid the aftermath of what looked to be a decadent meal. Crumpled cloth napkins, archipelagos of crumbs and smeared sauces across a sea of plates. The lighting’s bad, but I think I spy a smudge of lipstick on one of the glasses. There’s no caption.
Is this a dinner he shared with Bree? This, his sly way of signaling their affair under everyone’s noses?
I can’t decide if I want to barf or cheer—I know it’s a good lead, but following it doesn’t feel very good at all.
