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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmshdH30VOH

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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhVwbfYQP2

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. 584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnlY3rRAzj

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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bdbpAiZ4j

"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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70lNNpEbJD

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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwHhLLfzIA

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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp334CCHnm

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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaxtRnosiL
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn2wgazWRL
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sJfqxdqk4
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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fp0kPZYca
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Vw63xJhC
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsl4cY7F2B
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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnILIT9KP9o

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. 584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmfuADwo2C
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD953981Nsg

584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxTiYijKJs
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazD6Fmpu4A
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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9sXoMB1Fp
