.Ingrid protests, but at some point relentsu00e2 $” she comprehends her responsibility to her pal, yet sheu00e2 $ s additionally familiar with the stakes, which include possible criminal costs if the police become aware of her anticipation of Marthau00e2 $ s purposes. They travel up, however after that right away must come back to New York when Martha misplaces the pillu00e2 $” in a heart-pumping sequence they switch her apartment upside down in search of it. (To get an additional illegally, she claims, would be much too hard.) When Ingrid situates it, in a pouch doodled along with words u00e2 $ Goodbye, u00e2 $ you question if sheu00e2 $ ll hand it overu00e2 $” however she does.Over the following handful of days, back in their brand new country home, both set out their ground rules: Martha firmly insists that Ingrid needs to make an effort to enjoy herself (though certainly not discuss their experience, lest the authorities find itu00e2 $” though, typically, she carries out), and also stand by up until sheu00e2 $ s prepared.

Ingrid additionally goes to the health and fitness center, and also relapses to find herself out of breath as well as haggard, immediately concerned concerning her very own death, as well.
In among my preferred patterns, Ingrid views the door is shut and immediately throws up and also weeps, yet then a light as well as ghostly Martha, dressed in white, comes downstairs, pointing out sheu00e2 $ d opened up a window as well as the breeze had actually blown it closed. Ingrid is furious.Photo: u00c2 u00a9 El Deseo, photograph through Iglesias Mu00c3 u00a1 s.
