Chapter 47

“Ever seen that bracelet?” Brandon asked.

Sophia snapped back to reality shaking her head in confusion, “Nope

But Brandon’s eyes were still glued on her, “Your peepers are telling me a different story though, you know it.”

“What do you want now?” she asked nervously. “I’ve told you it’s mine. It’s been with me as long as I can remember, so don’t even think about getting your hands on it.

Sophia couldn’t help but glance at the protected bracelet, still looking like she was lost in the fog, but her gaze involuntarily drifted back to Brandon.

She saw a slight frown form on Brandon’s forehead, a thoughtful look as he glanced at Marian
