Evetta's treatment worked wonders on me; to my surprise, I'm almost completely better after just one day; I feel nothing near to the helpless being that I was yesterday.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUv1JIXkF6

Evetta stayed in the guest bedroom last night; I begged her to go home, but she refused. I think she's downstairs talking to my mother.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrtsBpWlKw

Since yesterday, other things have begun to come back to me as well; it's as if a plethora of memories, some about Evetta, some about other things entirely, have just decided to rush back into my head. 556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qIJF6Ah7h

I hear two knocks on my bedroom door, and I smile, knowing that it is Evetta; I know the way she knocks, and I can sense her on the other side of the door. When I look up, I see her crossing the room to sit on the bed beside me her coconut oil, beeswax and baking soda scent lingering in the air, but this time, it is accompanied by the strong smell of cocoa butter.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM78ld5p8Hx

"So I didn't get on the horse because of you," I state, cutting her off, "I got on that horse because I took your attempt to help me too far. You told me to ride a horse.

There's a difference, and you know that, because according to what you just said, you begged me not to get on that horse."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5dmjEawS3

She's full on crying now, sobs shaking her body. I feel like shit for even asking her, considering the amount of pain that she is in now. I wrap my arms around her and hold her, rubbing her back in small circles.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgEVxlbuEC

After a while, I hear her sniffing, and then soft snoring. I let out a long sigh. If this is the reaction that she has today, I can only imagine the pain that she was in over a year ago, when I just fell off of the horse.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4IG5dn6Hg

Looking for something to distract myself with, I decide to search my room for anything interesting. I haven't gotten back all of my memories; maybe, this will help.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJtX2jkvCN

I rummage through the closet, and find a small box of things at the back. At first, I think it's just a bunch of shit that I was supposed to throw out, but then, I look closer, and see what it really is.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStkISMezkh

Pictures. A shitload of pictures, all of which Evetta is present in. Us in Trafalgar Square, in a restaurant having dinner, on Oxford Street, walking and holding hands; just a lot of pictures. I have no idea what they're doing here, but I plan on asking Evetta; she'd probably know. Maybe she put them there.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7UREyxhcr
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN2X4GNsYX
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyy61Qf9qh
I'm so caught up in the pictures, that I almost forget that the box is there, until I look down and see something else; two little black boxes.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUk5bRmjfs
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HLDqtQyIj
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xeUymA0hX
With shaking hands, I pick up one of the boxes, and I open it. Inside is a little, multi faceted black ring, made of some kind of stone.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMvlQfbH2M

Evetta likes stone rings; she always told me that her dream wedding ring would be a black, stone one. I bought both rings; they're black agate. I had them custom made. I remember being in the jewellery store ordering them, and then picking them up. I remember the intense nervousness that I felt. 556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOfQL9GP5j
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxlGJSe7HI
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UwpH3CwJD
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1114lQzrk
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA1PCtqMTB
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4El2tcM0vz
When I take out the other ring, it's almost identical; same inscription, same colour, same basic design, except this one is a few sizes bigger. It's for me.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqTuu45ert
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80iUvWLNna

I was going to propose to Evetta.
