The Guest

“She’s here now, and we have to deal with it.”

Iris and Gabriel let Laure stay after a tragedy. It shows how quickly a guest can become a ghost in your own home.

Living with a grieving person feels like walking on glass. You want to help but end up losing your own peace of mind.

“It’s the not knowing that’s the worst.”

Secrets between a husband and wife are like slow leaks. Gabriel’s silence about the accident eventually floods their whole marriage.

Laure wears Iris’s clothes and sleeps in her bed. It made me realize how easily someone can slip into your life and replace you.
