"Miss, do you understand? Are you hearing me?" the police officer tried to get me out of my trance. "Your fiance has been found."

After the initial shock of hearing those words, I became incredibly anxious. I needed to see him. Then I realized the officer had never said what condition he had been found. Was he even alive? Beaten up?

"Is he okay?" I asked in a hushed tone.

"A few bumps and bruises, but nothing that can't be healed. He'll be out of questioning in a bit so you'll be able to see him soon."

I rushed to his side and sat down on the cot. I laid his head in my lap and played with his hair. A single tear rolled down my cheek. Whether it was from sadness because he looked so horrible, or happiness that he was back, I'm not sure.
