He grinned, and for a moment she thought

offered her the shell. She took it and held it in her palm; it felt heavy and
the rich ruby colours made her hand look pale.
“It’s beautiful”
“And this one is a mystery.”
Pep looked at the second shell, though it
was difficult to see where the shell finished and the barnacles began or where
the barnacles finished and the shell shelled.
“Are you sure?” she asked.
“Only because I found this”, Josh sounded
triumphant and offered her the third.
