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.475Please respect copyright.PENANA3jA1TU0DIW

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.475Please respect copyright.PENANA4MPlWpn0rf

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. 475Please respect copyright.PENANA02PnmgX5YZ

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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAiPdesmvw9i

"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. I decided to ride an unbroken 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."475Please respect copyright.PENANAU5N6nNpQf7

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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAbg4m1HjshN

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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAMcEnCTE4wY

Evetta left. I finally convinced her that I would be okay, and got her to go home. I couldn't have her stay over and neglect her family any longer.475Please respect copyright.PENANARVQL2blIXd

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.475Please respect copyright.PENANA8YPjjL3Ihm

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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAEDCSv7O16B

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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAxWkcAvuZgV
475Please respect copyright.PENANAOCVKeE33DY
475Please respect copyright.PENANAIdSUPibWxF
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAoWiTU2urVh
475Please respect copyright.PENANAhl3sYJy0LX
475Please respect copyright.PENANAUJYzGvsXDB
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAiJqSlorVNi

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. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAH8lkxxfnFv
475Please respect copyright.PENANAqOwpWJPGFK
475Please respect copyright.PENANAYNEQgXNp59
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.475Please respect copyright.PENANAbBElTRxJlJ
475Please respect copyright.PENANABrH6IMVdx5
475Please respect copyright.PENANAiBj1FcIoG9
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAC7avBuIF8I
475Please respect copyright.PENANAEdmRF1rd6H

I was going to propose to Evetta.
