Wordle #1141 – SCALE
“Oh, please!” Bree looks to Virginia for backup, giving her a glance that says, “Can you believe this?” Like Virginia’s been her real best friend all along. “Do we really have to sit here and listen to—”
“You’ve already had your turn, Bree,” Kaitlyn cuts in smoothly, holding up a hand to silence her. “I think our viewers would like to hear Cecilia’s side of the story now.”
Bree lets out an indignant little squawk, too insulted to speak, and Kaitlyn nods for me to go on.
“Thank you, Kaitlyn. As I was saying, I can explain everything…”
Finally, my Hercule Poirot moment. Though, I don’t have the signature mustache. And I’ll need to scale back on the details if I want to get to the juicy part in time—the part where I trap Bree.
“Late on the night of October nineteenth, Roy confronted Bree about an affair she was having with her yoga instructor, Austin Early.”
Out of the corner of my eye, I see a small photo of Austin pop up on the monitor that’s showing the livestream. It’s the only photo I’ve ever seen of him not smiling or flexing, but he still looks as adonic as ever in his seriousness. Bree shakes her head in denial, steadfastly not looking at the photo.
Notes:
Comic-Con gave me COVID as a little souvenir, but I’m almost back to full health now so I’m resuming daily updates. Thanks for your patience, dear readers!
