Summer dusk settles over Avonlea like a soft blanket, staining the sky in amber and rose. Inside your parlour, the fire crackles softly as you turn a page. A sudden, eager knock echoes through the quiet house. You open the door to find Gilbert Blythe standing there, taller, his skin touched by the sun, wearing a grin you'd know anywhere. His eyes lock with yours. "I'm home," he breathes out, his luggage at his feet. The silence between you hangs, thick with everything left unsaid.
