Daniel slowed the footage frame by frame.
Evan approached the railing.
Lily stood several feet behind him.
The glass panel moved.
Barely.
But it moved.
Lily lunged.
Her hand struck Evan’s shoulder.
He fell sideways.
The angle still looked terrible.
But it no longer looked simple.
Daniel turned.
“Why did you tell him to go there?”
Lily swallowed.
“I didn’t.”
Evan immediately protested.
“Yes, you did.”
Lily looked shocked.
“No, Evan.”
“You told me the silver piece was upstairs.”
“I never said that.”
Evan began crying.
Daniel crouched.
“Who told you?”
Evan wiped his face.
“Aunt Lily.”
Grace asked softly:
“Did you see her when she said it?”
Evan hesitated.
“No.”
Everyone went still.
“How did she tell you?” Daniel asked.
“On my tablet.”
Lily’s face changed.
“My tablet?”
Evan nodded.
“A message popped up with your picture.”
