Chapter 12 - LILY’S RABBITLily’s stuffed rabbit became important.

Not because it contained secret evidence.
Because Marcus tried to use it.
At a supervised forensic interview, Lily said:
“Daddy gets mad when Bunny listens.”
The interviewer asked:
“What does that mean?”
Lily explained she hid under the dining table with the rabbit during arguments.
Marcus knew.
He would sometimes take the rabbit away as punishment.
The night Sarah was injured, Lily had Bunny tucked under one arm when Sarah told her:
“Get your brothers.”
The rabbit was found near the kitchen threshold.
Sarah had put it into Lily’s hands automatically.
Then Lily dropped it while lifting a baby.
That detail convinced me more than dramatic claims.

People invent plots.
They rarely invent the stupid heartbreak of a child losing a stuffed rabbit while trying to carry two infants through snow.
