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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgSq1tfBAg

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOB6Ze2psT

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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjiEni6Wyz

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmzrWFYOZP

"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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pbaAuU2wp

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk3Pa2dFCL

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRuUXCMpso

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNDjE4S6KN
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeVBtVupRR
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsybBS6cfRJ
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5za0DDIOFP
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfRTK5Pcnf
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHH4CnBq1X
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ3UpXhLeK

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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZCf2QZAs6
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyoh1yyyVb

633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOq0l5SjZy
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHxWBI3dFp
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlqP7tCxiv

I was going to propose to Evetta.
