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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSkeGJSfYS

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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiohV7o4Imy

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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2leutbMJAs

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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwvggJ7L7K

"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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudFzDmdlSf

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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IQnNM4Ltg

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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzd7iHJtCZ
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7xLWIAL5p

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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlULRFsLWqg
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Eu7VALgv
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PFVeFs4eS
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPEPK2o9rS
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJHriVFK1b
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9FW0GSLAj
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy2Uy9eh9A

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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLfKAOmU3e
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJjf1bfhhV
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9L3p9OVCw
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fP6O1Fsx0
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAkjWKpo5C
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnIEtuqQ9m
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt31E3ck531

I was going to propose to Evetta.
