Set in Anne of the Island just as Anne is on her way to the Convocation Dance.
It was warm outside as Anne walked down the dusty path toward Patty's Place. She didn't feel like staying another hour. She looked down at her pocket watch. Nine PM. The dance wouldn't be over for a good three hours.
"Anne!" Anne Shirley heard Gilbert called from a distance. She turned her head and she could see is quickly approaching figure. She dropped the lilies in her hands and walked eagerly towards him.
"Hello Gil." She said they were within arms distance of each other.
"I was hoping I would have a chance to see you tonight." Gilbert panted as he caught his breath.
"You were?" Anne asked.
"Yes." He stepped closer to her.
"I would think you and a certain ms. Stewart would be out celebrating your graduation and engagement to each other." Anne said bitterly.
"Engagement?! Anne, I'm not engaged!" He said surprised.
Anne blinked dumbly at him.
"You weren't jealous were you?" He said smugly.
"N-No" She stuttered.
"You so were." Gilbert said excitedly.
"No I was not Gilbert Blythe. You take that back." She stepped forward and poked him in the chest.
"Says the girl who carried the flowers I gave you and not Gardener's." He poked Anne back.
"Roy's flowers were nice, but they didn't belong." Anne defended herself.
"And mine did?" Gilbert took another step Forward her. He was very close to her now. Anne could feel his breath on her face.
"Yes."
"Do I belong too?" His voice was low and husky.
"Maybe." She said slowly.
"Please." His eyes flickered to her lips. Then back to her eyes.
She nodded slightly.
Gilbert leaned in closer to her a mere inch between thier lips.
Anne closed the gap between them.
He smiled against her mouth.
