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.572Please respect copyright.PENANAhoYcOvSaED

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANA6waj9IFTTv

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. 572Please respect copyright.PENANAzxnKkWDoWu

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANAnGlFfFefTd

"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."572Please respect copyright.PENANAXP3MxQFy9A

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANAkmW4izHwVQ

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANA1D3mfZjROq

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANAYwoi65lzoE

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANATchzHypMRp

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANAas9ZaiJjvd

Then, I get a flashback; Evetta left this on my bathroom mirror to remind me of my date. She always does this.572Please respect copyright.PENANAljoTuooTiF

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANAXsgYsrc5G7

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANALvUDVE5X9N
572Please respect copyright.PENANA4MIYRGbaUK

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.572Please respect copyright.PENANA1fk6DSYgNC
572Please respect copyright.PENANAoWCCP94eUe
572Please respect copyright.PENANAg04AJHH9UM
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.572Please respect copyright.PENANAVYHguNKdxm
572Please respect copyright.PENANAIE2bvxr7EH
572Please respect copyright.PENANAnc94qkuUoI
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.572Please respect copyright.PENANAJcxn8Jnvcp
572Please respect copyright.PENANAtnGzhtO3hN

572Please respect copyright.PENANAJPYs1lh8Du
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. 572Please respect copyright.PENANA5o8S21Tcjz
572Please respect copyright.PENANAHbKqq2we6M
572Please respect copyright.PENANA1ej4Oo2ZtD
Sure enough, when I look inside of the ring, I see "Evetta & Caleb ∞" inside of it.572Please respect copyright.PENANAb9gEI6ECg5
572Please respect copyright.PENANA6oIAydtquX
572Please respect copyright.PENANAHtiXPrWuJc
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.572Please respect copyright.PENANAXCKEpxR540
572Please respect copyright.PENANALFnHjkfaaw

I was going to propose to Evetta.
