.Ingrid objections, however inevitably relentsu00e2 $" she understands her duty to her friend, yet sheu00e2 $ s also knowledgeable about the risks, which include possible illegal charges if the authorities hear of her prior knowledge of Marthau00e2 $ s motives. They travel up, however then immediately must return to Nyc when Martha misplaces the pillu00e2 $" in a heart-pumping sequence they turn her flat upside-down searching for it. (To order another illegally, she says, would certainly be actually far as well tough.) When Ingrid situates it, in an envelope doodled along with the word u00e2 $ Goodbye, u00e2 $ you ask yourself if sheu00e2 $ ll palm it overu00e2 $" however she does.Over the next handful of days, back in their new estate, the pair set out their ground rules: Martha firmly insists that Ingrid should make an effort to appreciate herself (though not write about their adventure, lest the cops discover itu00e2 $" though, normally, she performs), and also hang around up until sheu00e2 $ s all set. Then, Ingrid will certainly discover Marthau00e2 $ s cherry-red room door closed, and also thatu00e2 $ ll be actually the confirmation that sheu00e2 $ s gone.Thereu00e2 $ s a type of Hitchcockian dread within this part of the tale, specifically the gos of Ingrid climbing up the staircases to examine the spot of the door again as well as againu00e2 $" but likewise a welcome dosage of pessimistic humor. Martha speaks of wishing to sleep around along with a mutual friend, Damien (Severanceu00e2 $ s John Turturro), againu00e2 $" a common aficionado coming from their past times, along with whom Ingrid is still in contact. Ingrid also mosts likely to the fitness center, and relapses to find herself breathless and also haggard, unexpectedly worried about her very own death, as well. In one of my favorite series, Ingrid observes the door is closed as well as quickly vomits and also weeps, but at that point an ashen as well as macabre Martha, dressed in white colored, comes downstairs, claiming sheu00e2 $ d opened a window and also the doddle had actually goofed closed. Ingrid is furious.Photo: u00c2 u00a9 El Deseo, picture through Iglesias Mu00c3 u00a1 s.
