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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRAhrZcPYK

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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPNZDOy7EO

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. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ35xhGK8G

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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD8Bjd4Fc7

"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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdxDj0ECna

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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdQ7HlMYkW

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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76egUIcHin

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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicaIfbhU94

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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjwlrhD4wV
626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEQTQQCxMz
626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhBZhdpMuu
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJvjVLOnQh
626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ZuQ0T59f
626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n6hs67U2u
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEANqcCYWF

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. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNEZ7hbjNF
626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzQxc5yuXd
626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4DMq1KzjR
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2hoOzRo6F
626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHINCkeKpbJ
626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdPokjYztp
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbewl2RvcJA

I was going to propose to Evetta.
