Sitting on her bed with a girlfriend, Constance Hall was discussing how much she loved her husband.
"Do you think Denz is your soulmate?' her friend asked.
"100 per cent," Constance replied. "I, 100 per cent, do."
Soon after, they heard a familiar voice yelling from another part of the house. Constance had realised she didn't know where her husband, Denim Cooke, was. His son Zeyke, 16, told her his dad had gone on a motorbike ride with his mates.
And now one of those mates was yelling her name.
"He was like 'Con, Con!' and I was like 'who's that? Is that Richard?'" Constance told Mamamia's No Filter podcast.
"I went down and I looked down at him, and he's a larrikin, a real motorbike riding friend and he's always joking and he's always in good spirits, and he looks very different."

Richard said Denim had been in a motorbike accident, coming off his bike and sustaining a number of serious injuries.
"I was in shock. Zeyke started walking towards us, Zeyke doesn't have a mum, and I just didn't know whether I wanted to be with Zeyke or find out what was going on," Constance explained.
"I said, 'just tell me, what, is he dead?' and Zeyke started shaking his head and going 'no, no, f***king no'. The whole moment just gives me goosebumps and makes me feel so sick."
