.Ingrid objections, yet ultimately relentsu00e2 $” she understands her duty to her buddy, but sheu00e2 $ s likewise knowledgeable about the stakes, that include potential illegal costs if the police become aware of her anticipation of Marthau00e2 $ s purposes. They journey up, yet at that point right away must return to New York when Martha displaces the pillu00e2 $” in a heart-pumping pattern they switch her apartment upside-down seeking it. (To purchase another illegally, she points out, will be much as well hard.) When Ingrid situates it, in an envelope inscribed along with the word u00e2 $ Bye-bye, u00e2 $ you think about if sheu00e2 $ ll palm it overu00e2 $” yet she does.Over the next handful of days, back in their brand-new estate, the pair lay out their guideline: Martha urges that Ingrid needs to try to enjoy herself (though not write about their adventure, lest the cops find itu00e2 $” though, typically, she performs), as well as wait till sheu00e2 $ s prepared.

Ingrid is furious.Photo: u00c2 u00a9 El Deseo, photograph by Iglesias Mu00c3 u00a1 s.
