“I was unconscious for two days?” I asked, shocked.
“Yes, you were in a coma,” he confirmed.
Anxiety settled in my chest. Something about Ben didn’t feel right. What if he was lying about being my boyfriend? What if he was the one following me? I needed to speak to the officer alone. “Ben, could you give us a moment?” I asked, trying to stay calm.
Ben looked surprised but nodded. “Sure. I’ll step out,” he said, leaving the room.

I turned to the officer. “I don’t know why, but I don’t trust him,” I confessed. “What if he’s the one who was following me?”
The officer’s expression grew serious. “We’ve checked Ben thoroughly. He really is your boyfriend. It’s not unusual to feel unsure after a head injury.”
“But something doesn’t feel right,” I insisted, anxiety gripping me.
The officer pulled out a small piece of paper and wrote down a number. “Here’s my personal number. If anything makes you uncomfortable, call me,” he said.

I looked at the paper, feeling a small sense of relief. “Thank you,” I said. “What’s your name?”
