Wordle #1120 – ENACT
“Bree, why don’t you introduce yourself to the audience,” Kaitlyn insists, completely over the pleasantries. “Tell us a bit about yourself and how you’re connected to the Crypto Killer.”
“Like we don’t already know!” Virginia laughs.
“Um, well, my name is Bree Olsen-Liu. I am… was married to Roy Liu,” Bree says haltingly, once again enacting the role of model widow. This time, she fidgets with her engagement ring, twisting it on her finger so that the Burj Khalifa-sized diamond catches the light. “Roy was murdered by Cecilia Cale, my best friend.”
Virginia gasps dramatically and the chat all but implodes at the revelation. Like they didn’t already know.
“Oh my god, Bree, we are so sorry for your loss,” Virginia says. She pouts out her bottom lip in an exaggerated show of sympathy. “And you are so brave for coming on our show to share your story with us.”
“Thank you, Virginia. But I’m not brave. I just hope that, by telling my story, I can help other women recognize toxic friendships in their own lives and cut them out. Before it’s too late,” Bree says gravely.
Virginia nods, leaning forward like she would pat Bree on the knee or give her a hug if she could reach her. I roll my eyes.
“So, let’s get into it then,” Kaitlyn prompts Bree. I think I saw her roll her eyes, too. “Tell us everything, starting with how you met Roy.”
