identical bracelets.
    The more Katie stared at the bracelet in the book and the bracelet on her wrist, the more they seemed the same. A shiver snaked up her spine. She read on avidly, looking for more information about this mysterious bracelet.
    It must be a replica , she thought to herself as she reread the details of the bracelet’s history. It has to be.
    All of a sudden, Katie’s heart rate accelerated. Under the picture in the second paragraph, she read the words that nearly convinced her she was dreaming.
    Though James knew that he could not be with his one true love permanently across time, he gave her something to keep with her always when they were not together. It was our great grandmother’s antique bracelet that had been handed down through the generations to our mother who had given it to him. This bracelet allowed anyone who wore it to pass through time. Inscribed on the inside of the bracelet were the words ’Entwined Together Forever’.
    The book fell from her hands, having lost her grip in her disbelief.
    “Ouch!” Katie whined after it hit her big toe. She cursed under her breath. Katie slid the bracelet off her wrist, picked the book back up, and compared the real thing to its doppelganger picture once more. She had heard of people finding amazing treasures within old antiques. It was not completely impossible.
    Maybe her mother had it made special? Like a keepsake?
    Katie stared at the inscription on the inside of the bracelet. It was too small for her to read, so she ran into her bedroom to fetch her magnifying glass. She held the magnifying glass over the words, ad justing its distance until they became clear.
    Her heart stopped as ‘entwined together forever’ appeared through the lens, sure as Sunday.
    Wow, she mused. Whoever created this replica did a damn good job.
    She was about to put the magnifying glass down when another bunch of scribbles caught her eye. She discovered a set of numbers, slightly smaller than the text, and hidden from her until then. As she brought the magnifying glass closer, Katie gasped. At the end of the words where the numbers 1756, exactly 100 years before the book was even published.
    It was our great grandmother’s antique bracelet that had been handed down through the generations to our mother who had given it to him.
    Katie slowly shook her head, surfacing from the sluggish muck of her wonderment. “No way. This can’t be true. It couldn’t be the real thing… could it?” Katie was simultaneously scared and excited. She knew that she had to tell Chloe as soon as she could.
    Perhaps, Katie thought to herself, I’ll find the answers within the pages of James Walsh’s story.
    Katie crawled into bed with the bracelet and the book. She opened the cover, turning to the first page.
    It’ s going to be a long night, she realized as she started reading the story of James Walsh, the Timeless Love Affair , from beginning to end. She had to know why her mum had such an obsession with this book. She had to understand how she came to own this antique bracelet that had been hidden in a secret drawer for all these years. Less and less was making sense these days. Katie was beginning to think she was losing her mind. 
    She eventually dozed off, plunged into a deep sleep, catching visions that looked and felt to o real to be dreams.
    In one of them, s he was standing in a field of grass – a wide rippling lawn yawning out in front of an old Victorian mansion. James Walsh was there and so was her mother Isabelle, resplendent in a gown of midnight purple and crimson silk, her hair pinned up in a mess of spirals, some of which cascaded down her back. They were sitting down by a brook, laughing. Isabelle’s smile was vibrant against the color in her cheeks. She didn’t look sick at all.
    James handed her what appeared to be a gift box, wrapped in green. Looking stunned, her mother opened the package. Inside, she found a jewelry box. It was the same as the jewelry box
