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.

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

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

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

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

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

I was going to propose to Evetta.
