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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREK3oso3YE

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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh3BWha746

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. 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnqkTnOFb5

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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS4HrTXJnz

"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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZdygAWtxl

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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZDu3Zow0v

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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdQVNN6zv1

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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO09dURW2mN

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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJEYkUSNTl
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJLL2uY3rr
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYr6y6VyTZ
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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ti30QPXn
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFmyVWRnMy
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyD00otMyv
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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wf4ZEqXWS

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. 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhFDzflnOd
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgqShoYqB2
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jDUXfjiqB
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdK60W7V0J
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYc5KKaQlU
627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOUUcalsHs
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.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf6oq7bN4F

I was going to propose to Evetta.
