Ophelia Martin always knew she was the only child. Her mother would remind her everyday. She would tell her that she didn't want to loose Ophelia because she was all she had.

Ophelia doesn't even know her grandma,grandad, aunties and uncles or even her own father. So she was definitely confused when she saw that John b had the other half of the seashell anklet.

"Where'd you get that" Ophelia asked John b.
"My father gave it to me" he smiled and touched it softly .
"I have one too" she pointed. John b looked at it for a few seconds. His eyes widened.
"How-how'd you get that" he asked confused

"My mother gave it to me" she turned to look at JJ who was staring at both of them with his eyes wide.
"Come here" John b patter the seat next to me. Ophelia walked over and sat down next to him.

"Can I?" He asked and pointed to her leg. She looked down and nodded. John b took her leg and pulled it closer to his. When it was close enough they both heard a small click. They both looked at it and saw that the two halves of the sea shells were now connected.

"John b?" She questioned.
"Ophelia?" He questioned.

"Are you my- no that can't be true." Ophelia thought out loud.
"You can't remember your dad. And I can't remember my mom. And we both have these ankle bracelets. Do you think, we're- we're related" John b tried to piece everything together.

"But how?" Ophelia thought out loud again. She was definitely shocked and even more confused. How is this possible. Is john b her brother?. Her mind was clouded with her thoughts.

"Ophelia come with me." John b pulled her up and took her towards his fathers office. He opened the door quickly and pulled her gently inside with him. He rummaged through the drawers and shoved the books and papers off the desk.

He suddenly lifted something out of the drawers. It was a picture frame.
"Ophelia do you know her?" He asked pointing to the picture.
Her eyes widened.
