Earlier in the afternoon…
Bruce arrived at Rachael's mother's house together with his wife. They had decided to come and ask her a few questions to clear this up. They, especially Rachael, needed to hear from her what happened back then so she could make a better judgement.
Bruce was particularly worried about what would happen when his mother-in-law begins to spew nonsense from her mouth. All he wanted was for his wife to be okay.
They entered the house and met her but she welcomed them rather coldly, as it was her custom, "if it isn't my daughter and deflated son-in-law, what brings you here?"
Bruce went straight to the point, "we're here to talk with you."
