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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLhAw8XvYT

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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHfEbOAO2I

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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3WfPFuFud

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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUX8mSGbiE

"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."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPfLycPIaV

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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmmeKRRowv

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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1AlndP44w

"One day," I murmur, "I swear, I will make up for all of the shit that I've put you through, because no one as beautiful as you should have to go through the pain and guilt that you felt, the guilt and pain that you feel to this day."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx2NYEsHaa

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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn3qJDrECg

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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJHPs5loGP
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9zrl13IbI

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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkMmL86ij5
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQbj62qr63
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrdnBmvjRi
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIiCkgj2Vh
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ldg0hPZt
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2NQOMYjJG
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp5gKXE5OQ

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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog6BFkFvZx
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W5s4tseGF
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcw1K14eSb
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJpEyJAzoD
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB82DHckbZ
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHmKSunLvR
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBOUPQzbjN

I was going to propose to Evetta.
