The Charm Bracelet
It was the sound it made that first attracted me. Not quite a jingle, more substantial than that, more seductive. It was the sound of cocktail hour. A sound that winked 'look at me'. The sound of the kind of jewellery that does your flirting for you.

From that one single day my head was full of "what ifs. I managed for many years to push it to the back of mind, but just closing my eyes I can transport myself back in time.
