As Vanessa parks her car on the street of the church, the sisters hear a ringtone, that sounds like the benjamin sister's phone. Celeste quickly grabs her phone to check who was calling her, and exhales loudly when she sees the name of her mother-in-law appearing on her cellphone.
-"What? Who is it?" her sister asked, visibly concerned by Celeste's reaction to the call.
-"It's the monster-in-law." she replied, with a sarcastic tone. The widow picked up the phone and brought it closer to her ear.
"Oh hello darling! How are you holding up? I'm sorry to call you so quickly in the morning, you're probably busy with taking care of Michael's funeral. If you want me to call you later I..."
-"Funerals, I didn't know, well I didn't really had the mind to planning my husband's funeral, Miss Haynes."
"Oh dear! What are you waiting for? You must get started quickly in order to turn the page! What have you been doing that's been keeping you so preoccupied?" the monster-in-law answered, in a rather ironic tone.
-"I don't know? Maybe grieving my husband's death?"the widow replied spitefully.
"Oh, well I leave you some time to gather yourself, because that is no way to talk to your mother."
-"You are not mother, Christelle."
"Oh, by the way, have you joined a therapy group or took some sessions with a professional, like I suggested you do?"
-"No, i haven't, like I said, I'm busy and not in the mood to be told around by my 'mother' , who seems to not even be affected by her son's death, and who calls me crazy for taking as little as twenty-four hours TO PROCESS MY HUSBAND'S DEATH!" Celeste yells at the phone, before brutally hanging up in her 'mother's face. Her sister, still shocked of her baby sister's reaction to being disrespected, stares at her, jaw on the floor.
-"What?"
-"Nothing.. I just have never seen you get so mad over someone like this."
-"I just hate that woman so much! It's like she doesn't even care that Michael is dead, and only cares that I seek professional help because I'm 'crazy'!"
-"Well, don't take this the wrong way, but it kind of looks like she's just looking out for you. You don't know if she's hurt or not by Michael's death, she's just making sure that you're okay"
-"Whatever, can we just get this over with, so that I can finally grieve like a normal widow, without my husband' ghost spending 100$ on food?"
Vanessa lets out a chuckle.
-"Yeah, let's go."
The sisters carefully walk up the, what seems like an infinite staircase to get to the entrance of the church. Celeste knew that this is what she wanted to do. Get rid of Michael, grieve and move on with her life... or is it? What if Michael was right? What if they could just live like this and continue their lives? No that's non-sense.
Even if Celeste knew that she needed to do the right thing, she knew that it would be the hardest thing she will ever have to do.
