The next day.
The sun streamed through my window. Being in a coma for six weeks makes you realise how strong sun light really is. Just as I am adjusting to the light, when a male voice comes through the door.
"Millie?"
"Yep," realising it was DS Max carter "what do you want sarge?" I ask groggily
He quickly walked over to my bed, took out what appeared to be a witness statement .
"I need to take a witness statement for the case,"
Leaning down he places a kiss on my forehead. Looking down at my left had I realise that my rings were not there. Knowing what I was thinking Max pulls out a box and opens it. Inside were two rings that were different to my old ones.
"sorry the hospital had to cut your others off and it was just as easy to replace them with new ones," he garbled, slipping the rings on to the finger in turn. Looking at them they were even better than the old ones. After taking my statement he had to run.
"I'll be back tonight. See you later," kissing me he left the room.
Looking at my rings again I notice that the stones in my replacement engagement ring were my birthstone, Peridot with tiny diamonds. And the wedding band only had one small diamond in the centre.
When max had left something hit me, I suddenly felt a emptiness inside me, like the was something there and now it had gone.
