Finding Sense
She knew she had to find answers, whether it was that Joshua was guilty or the forever-not-knowing, this was going to tear their picture-perfect fairytale apart. They went out together and got a baby monitor with a video camera to set up in Lily’s room. Joshua pointed out that they should position the camera in a way that they could see if she was maybe scratching herself in her sleep. Heather agreed but also noted that she had been making sure, every day, to keep Lily’s nails trimmed, especially after the first incident.
The Video
They purchased a Logitech Circle 2 because it had night vision capability and that was sure to help them catch the culprit. They set it up and went to bed to have an uneasy night of sleep. The next morning, their sleep-deprived eyes stared at the new scratches on little Lily’s face with a sort of knowing disbelief. They would have to watch that video now. They could feel their fairytale growing darker, even before they started watching it.
