Despite Laura’s best efforts, it seems impossible for her to provide a rational explanation for her actions, especially the motivations behind them. She struggles to speak the absolute truth, and it appears that she might be unbalanced. When Daniel discovers that she told Cherry he was deceased, he ceases all communication with her. For a while, Laura manages to keep Howard in the dark about her actions, but upon their reunion, both individuals express a desire to understand why. However, Laura remains silent on this matter. This silence, combined with the fact that during Howard’s absence for business, she spent a night socializing with Lilith-the extramarital partner he was particularly sensitive about-further strains their relationship.
