Wordle #1009 - TOWEL
“Perfect! I’ll see you there in… half an hour?”
“Yeah,” I grouse. “Perfect.”
I arrive at Mission Dolores Park well before Bree, surprising no one.
The temperature is pleasantly warm, even though it’s getting late in the day and even later into October. Dozens of people mingle throughout the park—children playing freeze tag, picnickers, tennis players thwacking balls across the courts—but not so many that I can’t find a secluded patch of lawn well away from anyone else.
I pick a sunny spot near one of the off-leash dog areas, knowing that Bree will want to let Lola frolic. The grass is verdant and well-manicured, and it doesn’t look wet or soiled, but I hesitate to sit down. Because dogs.
I take my laptop out of its tote, lay the bag on the lawn, and carefully arrange myself on top of it, not caring if I squish the blonde wig inside. Hopefully Bree will bring a towel or a blanket or something. I’m sure she will—perfect hostess and all that.
I text Bree my location and wait.
Maybe I can still confront her, here. It would certainly take her by surprise—a murder accusation from her best friend almost literally out of the blue…
“Ah, I caught you!” Bree says from behind me, squeezing my shoulder, and I nearly jump out of my skin.
