A Happy Marriage

“I don’t want to be a dying person. I want to be your wife.”

Lying to your husband about a terminal illness is a wild choice. Maggie staying quiet about her cancer to keep things normal felt so desperate and real.

“We were happy. We were perfect. We were a lie.”

I never thought about how much a spouse can feel like a stranger. Even after fifteen years, Simon had no idea what was happening right in front of him.

Money usually solves things, but here it just bought a fancier cage. All those millions couldn't fix the silence between them at dinner.

“I’m auditioning for the role of my replacement.”

The way Simon obsessed over finding a new wife before Maggie even died was so chilling. It shows how some people just can't handle being alone for a second.
