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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7hJ7qND7j

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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwpTJx2HmT

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. 536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegsgAS2dO6

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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnYvTSaRtn

"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.

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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7giUIdNEz

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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ526qWOh5BV

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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjKE2LwmHe

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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C4eP0viHr

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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s8FIAantL
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ7DeOIm9T
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz5ANpLfP5
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1IvYaUd5a
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUIly63o9A
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpgSSgPzsR
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7c6m6mSFW

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. 536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckfhkPe5o4
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjBVIlCIIb

Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRwdzQrbLB
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACME7ZMS37
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKxI04BBDk
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4TdoaZNiP
536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KMFGAn8Rc

I was going to propose to Evetta.
