He and his little brother, Riddle, have spent their entire lives constantly uprooted by their unstable father. That is, until Sam sees Emily. That's when everything changes.</div><div></div><div>As Sam and Riddle are welcomed into the Bells' lives, they witness the warmth and protection of a family for the first time.
