PASSAGE
The canoe glided into the narrow creek, and the tall reeds leaned in on both sides. Water bugs skated across the surface, drawing quick silver lines. Mateo dipped his paddle carefully, trying not to splash.
The creek was quieter than the lake, as if it had stepped away from the world. A heron stood motionless near the bank, patient as a statue. When Mateo inhaled, he tasted the green smell of algae and mud.
Then the fog arrived. It didn't rush; it drifted in, slow and steady, wrapping the water in a pale blanket. The far shore blurred until it looked like a rumor. Mateo's paddle made a soft plunk, and the sound seemed too loud.
In the passage, how does the word "drifted" contribute to the tone?
