Returned

When we got home last night, my mum called to say she'd lost the ruby from her ring during our evening out.
It was a present from my dad on their ruby wedding and she's recently had it reset.
We searched the van in the dark and again this morning. They searched the house. She'd accepted its loss when I decided to take a long shot and return to the theatre. I was helped by the kindest of staff who warned me that they'd already hoovered. And ... Look! The chances were so slim but I felt like it wanted to be found!
A very lucky day.
