“I love it,” Jocelyn exclaimed as she hurried to the bed and ran her hand over the turquoise and white bed spread

“We’re glad We want you to feel comfortable here, Joc It’s as much your home as it is ours,” Snake said

Joc turned to him, confused “Why?”

This is it

“I have so to tell you” Snake walked to the bed, and patted the area beside him “Come and sit with me”

“O-okay,” she said, fiddling with the bottom of her T-shirt

Once she was seated, Snake took a deep breath “I know your parents told you that you were adopted”

Joc nodded

“Did they tell you anything about your parents?”

“That they weren’t able to take care of me, because they had a lot of problems,” Joc whispered

“Well, the truth is, you were taken away from your parents”

“What?” Joc said, jerking away

“There was a fire at your home Your mother died, your father almost died, and everyone assumed you were dead, too”

“I don’t understand”

“You were alanted, Jocelyn I recently had someone look into the fire and we discovered you were still alive I was ecstatic It was like winning the lottery But it was also theyour mother I’d lost so many years with you”
