Wordle #1015 – FORCE
Indignation flares within me. I’m surprised, and maybe a little impressed, that Bree has the chutzpah to counter my accusation by hurtling her own in my face. But I force myself not to respond to her goading, not to give her the satisfaction.

“Then, you dragged his body into the guest bathroom, cleaned up the crime scene, went to work, and tried to establish an alibi for yourself. Tried to make it look like Roy was still alive and kicking—and texting—while you were busy shelving books.”
“Cecilia, please—” Bree’s eyes beg me to stop as much as her words. She grabs onto my forearm with both hands and squeezes, probably imagining her fingers around my neck instead.
But I’m far from finished.
