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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQqRwUhwhU

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2GlSZ3T1J

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. 612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEIYKdBUL5

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04XsgVWMef

"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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbNtqaIfV5

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU1WzilPm9

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH5onGrZe8

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6doZYbQGeY
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HnXFUcHh8

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X64GPXlD0
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeNbyR4ERX
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47GdP4XFK1
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwy6anDRfT
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjEuWgLThb
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOySASujm6U
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtqfv224j9

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. 612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxwqknpHIg
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFelAVdRSN
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6udVkHyCSc
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirtLBzGlHi
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7PnJgLttW
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwQOY8C4BI
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MH2eVgQtF

I was going to propose to Evetta.
