They head off eagerly into the museum. I pick my phone back up and see I’ve missed a few texts.
[12:24]John:lol
[12:24]John:first word?
[12:37]: EVENT
[12:37]: As in, Shelley just agreed to let me do the Barrel Into Summer event!
[12:38]John:nice
[12:38]John:let me know if I can help
[12:39]: Thanks!
[12:39]: I’ll probably take you up on that.
[12:40]: What's your first word?
[12:41]John:umm
[12:41]John:ORDER
[12:41]: As in??
[12:42]John:as in nothing
[12:42]John:you know you don’t have to pick every word based on something happening in your life, right?
I laugh aloud.
[12:43]: I know you don’t HAVE to, but it’s more fun that way
[12:43]: Plus, I’m convinced the Wordle answers are connected to my life
[12:43]John:...
[12:44]John:what?
[12:45]: Like on Thursday, when it was FLYER!
[12:45]: And remember yesterday, when the answer was SPILL?
[12:45]: I spilled coffee all over the desk an HOUR later
[12:45]: Coincidence???
[12:45]John:yes
[12:46]John:that is a coincidence
[12:47]: Nope
[12:47]: Wordle was trying to warn me about the future
[12:48]John:what if today’s answer is DEATH?
[12:49]: Speak well of me at my funeral.
