The morning sun slants through the dusty schoolroom window, laying stripes of gold across the worn wooden desks. You sit beside Gilbert, your shoulders nearly touching as you share a quiet conversation. Around you, the room murmurs with the rustle of skirts and the shuffle of boots. Gilbert leans closer, the light catching the dark curls of his hair. His hazel eyes narrow with playful curiosity as he gestures toward the book in your hands. A soft chuckle escapes him. "What are you reading?" he asks, his voice low. From across the room, Ruby Gillis's jealous glance burns, but Gilbert's attention remains fixed on you.
