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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAXp69T6dcih

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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAHNyY3ouKqm

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. 614Please respect copyright.PENANAqn6re1xU62

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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAIScgibaPTm

"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."614Please respect copyright.PENANACEfDGrJnQM

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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAMSyHcTUMht
614Please respect copyright.PENANASwkGIAEouQ
614Please respect copyright.PENANAkZnDDcArJb
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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAGcaacSGEbJ

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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAHFDYGmHIiv

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.614Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gv6Z7VFtU
614Please respect copyright.PENANAPBzJturwJX
614Please respect copyright.PENANApeE590vhaJ
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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAdKGwyuZA5d

Then, I get a flashback; Evetta left this on my bathroom mirror to remind me of my date. She always does this.614Please respect copyright.PENANAbs1kIq5aSj

614Please respect copyright.PENANAHRWfhdZ4yc
614Please respect copyright.PENANAf59qDTZsb4
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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6iYz26tH4
614Please respect copyright.PENANAn4lCtSDXkK
614Please respect copyright.PENANAQDKbvba81W
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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ0NrKDWrV
614Please respect copyright.PENANAMEEJvX9ouO

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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAIKgDkm2ALa
614Please respect copyright.PENANAlQFgoOWzDy
614Please respect copyright.PENANAU8vrp2Qu1M
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.614Please respect copyright.PENANALbNhav8MQr
614Please respect copyright.PENANAuXjbEhQ34q
614Please respect copyright.PENANAGggNPMXSlG
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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAAsvwHoqKQs
614Please respect copyright.PENANAWeFZJIbilt

614Please respect copyright.PENANAg3HcHPA1sm
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. 614Please respect copyright.PENANAPzOOdq1yJt
614Please respect copyright.PENANAlCAlegjK85
614Please respect copyright.PENANAhsIIN0AhKw
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.614Please respect copyright.PENANAHqKA956Hzk
614Please respect copyright.PENANASfdWdqS7Ku
614Please respect copyright.PENANATbYzM8PGNP
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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAEhDINXk60q
614Please respect copyright.PENANAhq0gxP1V8i
614Please respect copyright.PENANAJioT6VXlWT
I was going to propose to Evetta.
