    Summary

    Something was changing. It was subtle, like the seasons or the tides, ebbing and changing so gradually that it was hard to tell that anything had changed at all until you were completely surrounded by it. There were signs though, that indicated that something was happening. Like the first warm breeze of spring after days of unending cold, there were moments that Anne could simply not deny that something was happening between her and Gilbert, that the ice was melting around their simple friendship and blossoming into something more.

    Summary

    Gilbert causes an international incident when he casually lets drop during an interview that he has a girlfriend back home in Canada (which, while technically untrue, is rather negligible in the grand scheme of things. So far as the truth goes, Anne is a girl and she is his friend and Gilbert is scandalously in love with her). What could go wrong?

    Summary

    “Oh, Anne!” Phil exclaimed. “You took Gilbert Blythe’s virginity then immediately proceeded to tell him you would ‘always be his good chum’ the summer before you got to college, and now you’re not even speaking to each other!?”

    Anne buried her face in her hands and groaned piteously.

    “You are my new heroine! Let’s have a toast.”

    In which Anne Shirley-Cuthbert's determination to be a "woman of the world" comes at a great price.

    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.
