Anne of Kingsport
1 The Proposal.
Anne was standing at the park pavilion. It seemed as if eternity had passed. Roy was waiting for an answer. Anne opened her mouth and said 'yes'. Roy jumped and did a backflip in front of her.
'So you not perfect after all', Anne thought with satisfaction. Roy stopped suddenly.
"Pardon my Anne. I should give these to you", Roy told her taking jewel box out of his pocket. Anne gasped when she saw how amazing the ring was a sapphire circled by diamonds.
"Just like a midnight lake surrounded by stars", she said dreamingly.
"I am so happy that you like it. Although the ring did not come by itself it also has few little friends." Roy took another box out of his pocket. Anne was in state of bewilderment once again. The box contained matched pair of earrings and a bracelet.
"Oh Roy, I don't just like them I love them How brilliant of you to do such thing, I feel as if I got piece of heaven" Anne complimented him. He took her hand and they stayed there for what seemed to be hours.
"Anne Shirley, I would love to cease time for us but I cannot. Now since we are betrothed to one another there are some matters to take care of. But let's forget about routine for tonight tomorrow is another day. Would you like to go for a walk hence it is such a beautiful night."
Anne agreed. They were walking around the park. Anne realized that her life has changed forever. She found her prince. She loved him in a different way that her imagination has painted love. But so many things were different now. Suddenly they have stopped.
"Roy what is the matter?" Anne asked lifting up her head and looking in his eyes – most beautiful eyes in the whole world.
"It's midnight; I shall escort you home to your place. My mother and sisters will come tomorrow morning to discuss details. I shall see you in the afternoon" Roy informed his future wife.
"My dear beloved Roy, I need to go to Green Gables to see my old friends before we shall get married!" Anne looked in his eyes.
"My dear Anne do not worry, you'll have this summer almost entirely to yourself. I'll visit you every weekend and my mother and sisters will come every week to discuss details of the wedding. I just have a small request for you, Anne Shirley could you please delay your departure to Green gables for couple weeks?" He asked smiling at her.
"Yes, there should be no problem with that. I would spend those delightful days in a company of your beloved mother and sisters." Anne informed Roy.
He was very pleased with his choice. Anne was beautiful talented and clever. Roy considered that love was the most important factor to him. Still he could not stop thanking Providence for being so fortunate to fall in love with Anne Shirley.
Anne returned to Patty's Place. Nobody was sleeping yet, hence everyone wanted to her the details.
"Anne, you are the luckiest girl in the whole universe. YOU ARE GOING TO MARRY ROYAL GARDINER!" Phil was dancing and screaming. "Please accept my sincere apology for I am so tired that I am barely able to stand," confessed Anne walking to her room.
"Anne Shirley, you will not escape from us tomorrow until you'll tell us everything," Phil admonished her best friend half-seriously and half-jokingly.
Anne was happy when she finally reached her bed. The girl was so tired and exhausted that she did not reflect upon this day at all. Tomorrow would be another day, a busy when as well as an exciting one. "I love you Royal Gardiner my prince," Anne whispered falling asleep.
