"Happy first Anniversary, Anne girl"

Gilbert unexpectedly grabs Anne's slim waist sitting her on hip lap. He suddenly reaches for something. Anne laughs as they tip over slightly. Gil has what he wants. They return to the sitting up position. His eyes are dancing.

Gil says gently,"I am madly in love with you, Anne Blythe. We have had a hard time, losing our Joy. I thought that this might give you some hope."

He hands Anne a small package wrapped in green paper. Her gorgeous eyes are starting to sparkle. Gil feels his heart beating wildly. Anne starts opening her first anniversary gift. To Gilbert's delight, Anne's eyes have turned emerald green. It has taken her husband's breath away.

Anne Blythe's reaction is priceless. "Oh, Gilbert! Where did you find such a beautiful treasure? A Lily-of-the-Valley bracelet. I absolutely love it. It means return to happiness right?"

Gilbert nods in agreement smiling as Anne puts on her new anniversary gift.

She continues,"My clever husband it is the most perfect first anniversary gift. You truly are a Genius. Thank you, Gil"

Anne passionately kisses Gilbert. She slowly sucks his bottom lip and releases it, knowing that this will drive her husband wild.

"I'll buy you gifts like that every year if only you'll kiss me like that, Anne."

"It is a deal, Darling!" Anne Blythe says quickly so her husband knows that she is serious.

"Gil, I feel horrible. I didn't know that we would be doing gifts now. I left your at our house of dreams."

Unknownst to Dr. Gilbert Blythe Anne's anniversary gift for him is very naughty nightgown.

Gil says smiling,"I'm just happy to be here with you and look forward to opening my anniversary gift later."

He sweetly kisses Anne's forehead.

"I am sorry Gilbert."

Gil confused,"whatever for, Anne?"

"I am afraid that during this hard time. You could have easily forgotten how much I love you. Gil, your everything to me. I couldn't live without you."

Anne kisses her husband thoroughly.

"Hummm if you keep kissing me like that Mrs. Blythe. I must insist on taking you straight back home so I can do what I want without worrying about others." Gil eyes are burning with love.

Anne is laughing,"I thought that we were supposed to be going on walk?"

Gil raises his eyebrows and says,"we would have walked, Darling."

Anne's eyes twinkling,"Can't argue with your logic, Doctor."

"Shall we, then?" Offering his hand to Anne.

They are walking back to the house of dreams, hand in hand.

Gil suddenly says,"I think that I need to write you a note every anniversary.

Anne curiosity gets the better of her, "Why, is what?

"So you, my dear romantic, will have record of our love through the years!"

"Oh, Gil! I love your idea!"

Anne Blythe stops her husband. She kisses Gilbert so hard and passionately that it drives him crazy. Gil can't wait so he unexpectedly throws Anne Blythe over his shoulder. He starts

running with Anne the short distance home hearing the sweet laughter of his wife.
