now Callum, are you going to be alright?” She asked.
    “I believe so. I’m just realizing so many things now, little clues Maria gave that she didn’t realize she’d given. And thinking of just how much time I wasted, trying to save her.”
    “Oh, it was never wasted, Callum, never. If you’re trying to save someone it’s not wasted at all.”
    “Yes, well,” he said. “That may be so but I meant it was time I could have spent with you.”
    Milly’s breath caught in her throat at his words. Could he really be saying this?
    Callum moved, pulling something from his pocket. “I was saving this, it’s your Christmas present, but I can’t wait. This is what I was buying the night Maria was killed, this is why I went out of town. I’ve known for a long time what you mean to me Milly, and I have to ask you this now. It may be an odd time, but what better time is there? You are my best friend, my favourite companion, the one person that has always stood by me, always supported me. I wasted far too much time chasing after someone I could not save, when you were right here in front of me all along, Milly. Can you forgive me and do me the honour of marrying me? Will you be my wife, for eternity, for always?” Callum opened the box as he spoke, a large emerald the same colour as her eyes surrounded by two white diamonds glinted in the light from the streetlamp.
    Milly stared at the ring, at Callum, and back at the ring again, disbelieving. Tears filled her eyes and then she launched herself at the most incredible man she’d ever met. The smell of his scent still made her knees wobble and she loved him desperately. “Of course I will,” she said as her lips finally met his, “of course I will, you silly man.”
    “Thank you,” he said, breaking off the kiss to dry her eyes and smile at her. “But I hope you don’t expect another Christmas present after this. This set me back a pretty penny.”
    “I don’t care if you never buy me another gift, Callum, you’re the best gift you could ever give me. Thank you, darling.”
    “Thank you, Milly. Thank you for saving me, thank you for everything.”

Chapter One
    “Yeah twist again, like we did last summer…” Hannah Price sang shrilly, wielding a pricing gun as she danced up the aisles. She was in an excellent mood that day; she always liked being at work. Her hours were flexible and her gorgeous boyfriend was her boss. What could be better?
    “Why do you listen to such old rubbish?” Shouted a laughing voice, switching off the battered radio on the counter.
    Hannah jumped, unaware there was anyone else in the shop but her. She looked
