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.625Please respect copyright.PENANAjuJ6JcdfZx

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.625Please respect copyright.PENANAq8ssn8qYn5

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. 625Please respect copyright.PENANAuWOjW9a8Wo

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.625Please respect copyright.PENANAXYvJdv1KzL

"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."625Please respect copyright.PENANAH3cvqsHXfC

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.625Please respect copyright.PENANA30n0hGt8hZ

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.625Please respect copyright.PENANAnEkK44kAka

"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."625Please respect copyright.PENANAlXiqLhO89x

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.625Please respect copyright.PENANAi47PmZgYZc

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.625Please respect copyright.PENANASinNhhJcPi
625Please respect copyright.PENANAV7WqbidAKp
625Please respect copyright.PENANAziASGFKdXT
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.625Please respect copyright.PENANAlyJQfJutbW

Then, I get a flashback; Evetta left this on my bathroom mirror to remind me of my date. She always does this.625Please respect copyright.PENANAQdv6nzEjbW
625Please respect copyright.PENANABgh4nUqi1d

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.625Please respect copyright.PENANAeeq9CFjbUM
625Please respect copyright.PENANA6SLHCjBJPD
625Please respect copyright.PENANAFNUP6iJS2h
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.625Please respect copyright.PENANATXbJ1iBcWK
625Please respect copyright.PENANATysqKlwl5C
625Please respect copyright.PENANAclhDJH2mPY
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.625Please respect copyright.PENANA06Dz1dRUIa
625Please respect copyright.PENANAbvkPma1qpg
625Please respect copyright.PENANAsCdzL1N3lZ
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.625Please respect copyright.PENANAJWlBGuazjm
625Please respect copyright.PENANAO8PrDmYqMg
625Please respect copyright.PENANAmEhfYfieDZ
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.625Please respect copyright.PENANAij1sq2Rti9
625Please respect copyright.PENANA5EFlcRDRz8
625Please respect copyright.PENANADorxDYhGNx

625Please respect copyright.PENANAM9kM5vyCFZ
625Please respect copyright.PENANAILHdotbDPA
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. 625Please respect copyright.PENANAYMZdxlNXRk
625Please respect copyright.PENANA7OgQfC0uXK
625Please respect copyright.PENANArTzE8WnIkY
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.625Please respect copyright.PENANAMyWaXIzF7z
625Please respect copyright.PENANAUsk206soJ9
625Please respect copyright.PENANA5IhhBqPoDI
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.625Please respect copyright.PENANACoasM18a40
625Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ07GS2zMZ
625Please respect copyright.PENANAO2fgTiFjdR
I was going to propose to Evetta.
