Seleana Zdunich was not happy at all and really hadn't been for months.
Her marriage had basically ended after seven years and she still did not really know why. Her wife, Christina, had attacked her and forced her into a match Seleana really did not want to take part in and then had made sure to attack her again alongside Mercedes Vargas.
After the incident in Sweden with Cassie Wolfe and Mercedes Vargas, Christina had not only remained silent on what had precipitated the whole thing but had then missed their anniversary. Seleana's sister, Zenna, had made sure to come from New Orleans to see how things really were. She'd gone home and come back again, having taken a job with SCW on the roster right next to her sister.
Zenna Zdunich: So, what now?
Seleana barely looks up.
Seleana Zdunich: I…
She shakes her head.
Seleana Zdunich: I don't know…
She looks up at Zenna, despair evident on her face.
Seleana Zdunich: I… just…
She trails off, desperately trying to find the words in any language.
Seleana Zdunich: Shenzi, how I do?
She looks up into her sister's eyes.
Seleana Zdunich: How I tell Aurora I no know how… do her…
She searches for the word she knows belongs here.
Seleana Zdunich: Quinceañera?
Zenna just looks at her sister with both confusion and concern.
Zenna Zdunich: You don't know?
Seleana shakes her head.
Seleana Zdunich: Christina keep saying she would plan. She know, but…
She shakes her head again and Zenna nods understandingly.
Zenna Zdunich: But she never get around to it?
Nearly completely losing it, Seleana nods.
Seleana Zdunich: I no know what do. Aurora has birthday next month. Big deal in their community. Elijah losing what little stability he have. Christina and Alex both leave, Alex try leave door open.
She squeezes her eyes shut to try and maintain what little composure she still had.
Seleana Zdunich: Car reminder of everything…
Zenna nods.
Zenna Zdunich: You never did seem to like that car.
Seleana sighs heavily.
Seleana Zdunich: It… nice…
As she falters and fumbles for words again, her sister simply nods as if everything exactly what she knew was coming.
Zenna Zdunich: But…?
Seleana sighs heavily.
Seleana Zdunich: It… too much?
Zenna cocks her head slightly.
Zenna Zdunich: Too fast? Too expensive? Too much gas?
Seleana sighs with a whimper.
Seleana Zdunich: Too Christina.
Zenna nods.
Zenna Zdunich: She bought it for you?
The elder Zdunich Sister nods sadly, tears starting to stream down her face.
Seleana Zdunich: Ja, it was her first big gift.
She shakes her head, the tears coming more forcefully now.
Seleana Zdunich: I no know what do with it.
Wiping at her eyes, Seleana tries to pull herself together with no success.
Seleana Zdunich: I cry just see it. I…
Zenna nods knowingly, understandingly yet again.
Zenna Zdunich: You cannot use but you cannot get rid of it either, can you?
Seleana sniffles twice and then shakes her head.
Seleana Zdunich: Nej.
Zenna nods slowly.
Zenna Zdunich: Then we need to find a storage type garage for it. It'll be safe but out of sight. As for the quinceañera, we have resources for that. Mary, Chavy, her sisters, Morgan, even Christina's sisters. We'll obviously have to consult Christina and, of course, we'll need to ask Aurora what she wants.
Seleana nods.
Seleana Zdunich: You good at mothering, Shenzi.
Zenna shrugs.
Zenna Zdunich: I had a good teacher.
Seleana nods, trying to smile weakly.
Seleana Zdunich: I need to get ready for the Bella match in Los Angeles area.
Zenna Zdunich: We call Mary for tips on where we stay there.
Seleana Zdunich: Tack, Shenzi.
Zenna smiles.
Zenna Zdunich: What are sisters for?
