Max, I'm so sorry but she's gone. We couldn't save her the blood loss was too great." Connie speaks almost silently. His head drops the silent tears of pain and anguish cascade down his cheeks. I've broken him.
It all becomes clear to me, he wasn't looking up at me he was looking at Connie behind me. He couldn't see me. It's true I feel it now, I'm in visible I'm gone. Connie's words had stabbed my right in the heart. 'She's gone' I play it over and over as I stand watching max. I was his one and only. But I never got to show him just what he means to me.
My mind stops racing as I hear max mutter something. "I max Lyndsey Gerald Walker take Zoe Hanna to be my Wife, I promise to love and protect her in sickness and in health." Hearing the words he'll never get to say to me makes my blood run cold.
He hold up the paper in his hand, then I realise it's a picture a picture of me. He kisses it again, he's kissing me goodbye.
"I'll never forget you Zo, you'll always be my wife. Ill treasure your memory deep in my heart. One day we will be together again, but for now its goodbye. Until we meet again sleep tight my angel. I love you, you know always remember that."
