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.613Please respect copyright.PENANADfo8XeLtZf

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.613Please respect copyright.PENANA8bmCAbndSC

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. 613Please respect copyright.PENANA7BvBCG03xq

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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAFjJjfQhRLr

"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."613Please respect copyright.PENANAE4p1Ik7lBe

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.613Please respect copyright.PENANA25Ir3qfSDO

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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAuZKZEhOgPx

"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."613Please respect copyright.PENANA5WawixFWb1

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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAHT6kklxQXz

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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAHYGHDtWwDy
613Please respect copyright.PENANA1usdiWWQZV
613Please respect copyright.PENANAbssDB7gVRJ
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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAmarSHJK6zG

Then, I get a flashback; Evetta left this on my bathroom mirror to remind me of my date. She always does this.613Please respect copyright.PENANA62sPcgcPkB

613Please respect copyright.PENANAECTkqnLfqi
613Please respect copyright.PENANAYlCLiHeDmH
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.613Please respect copyright.PENANA2g868AdIwz

613Please respect copyright.PENANA3GEQ19qo2x
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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAQUXC1e8IKU
613Please respect copyright.PENANAdvseSqFCAY
613Please respect copyright.PENANAYUhaDEAtPD
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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAxLrNAZ15Zx
613Please respect copyright.PENANAcTrTwbDlr5
613Please respect copyright.PENANAMMOHctnFJv
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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAtrZUx3VQus
613Please respect copyright.PENANACtZd2311mh
613Please respect copyright.PENANAlGp5cAEFmt
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.613Please respect copyright.PENANATxBSxQ1KSE
613Please respect copyright.PENANANSMDGqEuJp

613Please respect copyright.PENANAVWWbZZjDew
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. 613Please respect copyright.PENANApT6Oa2XPD8
613Please respect copyright.PENANAxdsnJ8rNaI
613Please respect copyright.PENANAhj6KxK9je1
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.613Please respect copyright.PENANA25ufy78IYk
613Please respect copyright.PENANAg89Kur2BXt
613Please respect copyright.PENANAYv4gPqwZHZ
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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAAiq5ULDE0N
613Please respect copyright.PENANAGKFYtEKmsL
613Please respect copyright.PENANAOQjnWZDfgp
I was going to propose to Evetta.
