Wordle #1018 – SERUM
Lola cocks her head in Bree’s direction, but instead of coming closer, she sprints away, thinking she’s playing some kind of game. Bree curses under her breath.
“Lola, please.” Her voice wobbles and she inhales wetly, like she’s on the verge of tears.
I quickly gather my own things and catch up to Bree, though she’s doing her best to stomp away from me.
“Why would I be jealous of your sham of a marriage?” I persist, leaning in close so she can’t escape what I have to say. “You cheated on Roy.”
“Cecilia, stop.” She tries to harden her voice, to make her words sound like a warning, but the tears running down her cheek dampen the effect. She whips her head away from me with a sniff. “Lola, come!”
“Why didn’t you just get a divorce like a normal person, huh? Was it because of the money?” I know I’m being cruel, but I can’t let up now that I’ve got Bree on the defensive. If only I’d had some truth serum to slip into her rosé... “You’d only get half in the divorce but you’d make bank with him dead, is that it?”
“No, that’s not—" Bree is sobbing now, desperate, still trying to shuffle away from me, like she can outrun the accusation.
“You never even loved Roy in the first place. You murdered him in cold blood because you—”
“I didn’t murder Roy!” Bree shouts, wheeling on me with fury in her eyes. “It was an accident!”
