Chapter 14 - THE OLDER BRUISEFebruary became important because Sarah had photographs.
She had taken them.
Then hidden them in a private folder.
Why photograph Lily’s bruised arm if she thought nothing was wrong?
Sarah answered:
“Because I was scared.”
“Of Grant?”
“Of what it meant.”
The images showed three finger-shaped bruises on Lily’s upper arm.
No broken skin.
No other injury.
Timestamped.
Two hours after the argument.
Sarah had also texted Mom.
He grabbed her too hard. There are marks.
Mom replied:
Then tell him it can never happen again. Don’t blow up your marriage over one bad moment.
Sarah:
Evan will take her if he sees.
Mom:
Then he doesn’t need to see.
There.
Not a criminal conspiracy.
A concealment agreement.
