Wordle #1117 – GAUNT
The time passes quickly, and I snap to attention when the music fades out and the waiting screen transitions to a video feed of two women sitting beside each other on a velvet couch. The number of viewers rockets upwards. We’re live.
“Hellooo, Homicide Hotties!” The woman upstage of the camera squeals.
She may as well have stepped out of an episode of Mad Men. Her sandy brown hair is coifed into a round bob with side-swept bangs, and she fills out a sleeveless green shift dress topped by a white Peter Pan collar. Bright and bubbly, she beams into the camera, her teeth blazingly white.
“Welcome to a very special live episode of I Heart Homicide! I’m your host, Virginia Hardwick.”
“And I’m your other host, Kaitlyn Kilmartin,” the other woman intones, verging on bored.
Her expression is notably closed off—her lips pursed under her high, gaunt cheekbones. She’s wearing a silky black blouse with black cigarette pants and a husky voice to match. Her hair is raven black, too. The raincloud to her sunny cohost.
“Oh my gosh! You guys! I wasn’t kidding when I said we have a very special episode lined up for you,” Virginia effuses, clutching at her microphone excitedly. “I’m sure you’ve all been following the case of the Crypto Killer?”
The chat explodes with comments.
“Well, joining us here in studio today is none other than Bree Olsen-Liu!”
