She pulled out some Christmas cards from the dinosaur years, some Christmas tree ornaments that were pretty and rare and sitting at the bottom was a jewellery box that caught her attention.</p> <p>She pulled out the small blue box, blowing off a cloud of dust that had settled on it over the years.</p> <p>Engraved on top of the box was ‘Gold-leaf Jewellers’ which was an expensive Jewellery shop in uptown Charlotte Bay.</p> <p>Silver opened the box carefully and gasped. Inside the silky cocoon sat an exquisite tiny silver bell with little diamonds encrusted on waist.</p> <p>A small card sat to one side it read ‘Twin charm Christmas bells’ an image of twin silver bells was drawn on one corner.</p> <p>Silver inspected the box to see if the other bell was hiding somewhere - She lifted the silk material but nothing. There was only one bell charm. Um odd. She thought.</p> <p>Engraved on the band of the bell was the word Belle with an e at the end – like the name Belle.</p> <p>She touched the little belle word carefully and frowned, she had seen this bell before – there was something extremely familiar about it.</p> <p>Silver tilted her head to one side and bit her bottom lip – had it belonged to grandmama? She closed her eyes deep in thought – no. Where had she seen it? Frustrated she placed the charm back in its box and chided herself for worrying about it.</p> <p>                           ___________________________________</p> <p>Tune in to listen
