Wordle #997 - HEAVE
I pack up my bag and scurry out the door, embarrassed to have been given the old heave-ho.
Well, it’s probably for the best—knowing me, I would’ve procrastinated another half-hour at least, putting off confronting Austin.
I pull up Early Morning Yoga on my phone. It’s in the Mission, about twenty minutes away by bus. That should give me enough time to come up with a good cover story. I hope.
Working off my theory that Bree and Austin are engaged in a secret affair, I have to assume that no one else knows. Not even, or perhaps especially not, the real Olive. No, my “Olive” ploy won’t work with Austin—he must know that Bree wouldn’t confide in her sister. Heck, he might even know what Olive looks like.
I suddenly realize that I have no idea just how close Austin and Bree might be. They’re not in love, are they?
Regardless, if they are having an affair, Austin will tell Bree right away about any odd women stopping by his yoga studio, asking prying questions about them.
Maybe if I disguise myself really well? With something better than the ten-dollar Spirit Halloween wig curled up in the bottom of my tote bag like a dead muskrat.
Or maybe I just have to get all the information I can before Bree figures out I’m snooping around and stonewalls me…
I keep thinking as I make my way toward the nearest Muni stop, but for now, I’m coming up emptier than my bank account.
