The Traumatic Truth
It took a traumatic experience for Gerald to learn the truth of the crib and Valerie’s story, but when he did, he was overwhelmed with sadness and sympathy for the young woman. If he had initially felt cheated, all that was left was pity.

Gerald had, perhaps unwisely, believed that everything was in order with the second-hand crib. It was only once he showed it to his wife, who seemed to have a better eye for detail, that the true horror was unveiled.

Rest In Peace
Gerald had rushed to see what his wife had been so alarmed by and that was when he saw what had freaked her out to such an extent. Written in the crib’s bottom was “R.I.P. Noah 2019-2020”.
