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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAEM9oduIOki

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.481Please respect copyright.PENANA0uaqErcHC7

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. 481Please respect copyright.PENANAVTpg3ub1VP

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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAVX3gEfmykO

"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."481Please respect copyright.PENANAFMraHufmmh

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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAdFiJNeVkxZ

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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAgFCEnqnbrs

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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAUyX9edCSlt

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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAM0n05G1iXG
481Please respect copyright.PENANAc83Y7RakS4

I start with my drawers, searching the bottom of each one; in my underwear drawer, I find a small, green post it, with something scribbled on it.481Please respect copyright.PENANAxt1oDITTSy

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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAEiuflXDfH4
481Please respect copyright.PENANAQ12uA17I4a

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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAuEdMh8zg9D
481Please respect copyright.PENANAsHLst358mc
481Please respect copyright.PENANAo1YxNZ7QFa
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.481Please respect copyright.PENANATV5jJei9DK
481Please respect copyright.PENANAB4rNu4UJfi
481Please respect copyright.PENANAA8VDsGMnWL
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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAJwiWy8CVMS

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. 481Please respect copyright.PENANAvOl68G58qI
481Please respect copyright.PENANA2I8pRpu0PO
481Please respect copyright.PENANAWHdqCTiaOp
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.481Please respect copyright.PENANAkwsLNKoO8s
481Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZoXs0kj66
481Please respect copyright.PENANAQzND72Zy3k
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.481Please respect copyright.PENANAmMkDKKyKEu
481Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Jugg6MOm

I was going to propose to Evetta.
