When I showed the film to Eric, I asked if we could end with us in separate conversations like the rest of the crew, and he said yes. While I was writing it, I knew I didn’t want Eric and Lauren to see each other at the dinner table for the film’s ending scene.

The only moments I let her to glimpse through me was during a scene in which she disobeys me to say hello to Eric.
