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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAFut38jsRBI

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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAkwQnnQOVQa

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. 647Please respect copyright.PENANA3Etfc48dXo
647Please respect copyright.PENANAMAn7XOKIUV

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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0Xd31cQG8

"I wanted you to get over your fear of horses, so I took you to a ranch. You were dead set on impressing me," she said letting out a humourless chuckle.647Please respect copyright.PENANAc9R6zak7Um

"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."647Please respect copyright.PENANAyNjhi3OVJR

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.647Please respect copyright.PENANASXEq96p39z
647Please respect copyright.PENANAWHMkvy6NJv
647Please respect copyright.PENANA9vwA5xf4T9
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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAIK5cQOlJmW

"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."647Please respect copyright.PENANAO1U1ni7jk6

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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAiavYHhcyIx

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.647Please respect copyright.PENANALXueFMnT6T
647Please respect copyright.PENANAtcxRyz9Mic
647Please respect copyright.PENANAdSLx0mhwMk
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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAhcS6HcM739

Then, I get a flashback; Evetta left this on my bathroom mirror to remind me of my date. She always does this.647Please respect copyright.PENANAMW38a8mgVH
647Please respect copyright.PENANAQDTSTZ2Ix6
647Please respect copyright.PENANAK7xbirKzsA

Time to check the closet.647Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2endVZGVC
647Please respect copyright.PENANABkFb22ebuf
647Please respect copyright.PENANAMviwGJdFsK
I haven't been in my closet that much recently; since I barely leave the house, I wear my inside clothes which are in my drawers.647Please respect copyright.PENANAEKxvGPsVmS
647Please respect copyright.PENANAR0zJCA2qVW
647Please respect copyright.PENANAKZXdLWj3SK
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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAzu2HJOdw7a
647Please respect copyright.PENANArPc8nI7ydB
647Please respect copyright.PENANAjln4zVZ9tm
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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAZofiH2nBMU
647Please respect copyright.PENANASzwuyIe7H8
647Please respect copyright.PENANA9xF1Kv33ZE
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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAWXy55mVemm
647Please respect copyright.PENANAn9SIIUi0Ou
647Please respect copyright.PENANASBtRbFBAMa
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.647Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3nAMbHLhn
647Please respect copyright.PENANA87EvCM7CF4

647Please respect copyright.PENANA7MkJUpCThj
647Please respect copyright.PENANAUnvOybYA3p
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. 647Please respect copyright.PENANABpGQoIXdy8
647Please respect copyright.PENANACDXes0SBkX
647Please respect copyright.PENANAskahzBstCR
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.647Please respect copyright.PENANA5wWBOJ6XPy
647Please respect copyright.PENANA9QdynvG30R
647Please respect copyright.PENANA5DhJr727SF
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.647Please respect copyright.PENANA04oC14YAbJ
647Please respect copyright.PENANASJKU6X0vgk
647Please respect copyright.PENANAZNpFk6roON
I was going to propose to Evetta.
