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
611Please respect copyright.PENANABTHTKd9s5i

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

"I wanted you to get over your fear of horses, so I took you to a ranch. You were dead set on impressing me," she said letting out a humourless chuckle.611Please respect copyright.PENANAs7Acw6teiV

"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."611Please respect copyright.PENANAL3xyAgJaqI

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

"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."611Please respect copyright.PENANAfywzC5I55T

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.611Please respect copyright.PENANAH7ZHA0i2K3

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.611Please respect copyright.PENANAIkj0bIOTnN
611Please respect copyright.PENANAkBilk16Cc8
611Please respect copyright.PENANAtsGc69kskj
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.611Please respect copyright.PENANAnToD6GuX29

Then, I get a flashback; Evetta left this on my bathroom mirror to remind me of my date. She always does this.611Please respect copyright.PENANAp2gbq6ME77
611Please respect copyright.PENANAmJBeo3ZjQI

Time to check the closet.611Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Oxac7Xhp
611Please respect copyright.PENANAwd1jeOnPRT
611Please respect copyright.PENANA0kiA0bMScE
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.611Please respect copyright.PENANAYNKmP8r5ur
611Please respect copyright.PENANAzqKQSNWBbC
611Please respect copyright.PENANAO1hw8ysn2F
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
611Please respect copyright.PENANAOX33cew0r9
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
611Please respect copyright.PENANAYpLmDNaEem
611Please respect copyright.PENANAKDU3VdOlAt
Then I remember.611Please respect copyright.PENANArPHfB3umVf
611Please respect copyright.PENANAztWV9PdgDw
611Please respect copyright.PENANAoWGZucOuut
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
611Please respect copyright.PENANA8d8e45J0Ng
611Please respect copyright.PENANAc5OpWxCQaE
I was going to propose to Evetta.
