She didn't care if those people were close relatives or distant relatives; it was irrelevant to her.

She had no intention of going. She refused to continue pretending with Gareth, putting on a charade for others. Besides...

Elisa had thought about it. If she truly loved and cared for Julia, she needed to be upfront and honest. Elisa refused to keep lying and pretending to be something with Gareth before Julia when they weren't. The guilt would eat at her, and she didn't want to live with that regret until Julia took her last breath.
