    Summary

    What if Gilbert had been ill, and that explained why he hadn't attended school? How different could things have been, had they been friends from the start?

    Summary

    'When she finally was ready to let him go, finally confident that when she opened her eyes he would still be there, he gazed up at her so reverently as if she was the sun, the moon, and the stars all at once. The look was so full of love yet she knew she had seen it so many times in his eyes before that she blurted out the first thought that came into her head.

    “Have you really loved me for so long?”'

    In which Anne and Gilbert spend their first year together, and apart.

    Summary

    “Of course, I remember it,” she spits out. “You humiliated me. Mr. Philips tortured me.”

    “Yes,” he says, apology clear in his voice. “I just wanted to say that your hair has never been the colour of carrots.” There’s a silence, and he can’t help it when he leans forwards, looping one of her locks of hair around his finger. It’s soft, and such a vivid red that he wonders how he ever could’ve been so foolish to call her carrots; it’s the colour of everything he’s ever loved in the world, reminds him of the colour his dad’s nose would go in the winter and the setting sun.

    Anne’s simply staring up at him with wide, shocked eyes and he can’t say those things to her, can’t tell her such things. So, he simply finishes with, “It’s pretty.”

    Gilbert Blythe only returns to Avonlea when he is 23, unexpecting of anything except a general feeling of returning home. Falling back in love with a girl he left behind seven years ago was definitely not in the cards.
