Chapter 21
Gilbert was sitting on the porch when Anne came back. She smiled and sat down next to him.
"How was your day?" He asked, smiling.
Anne told him about her walk and the meeting with Diana.
"Oh, by the way, I hadn't known that I have a rival here in Avonlea," she concluded.
"A rival?" Confused, he looked at her.
"Yes, Josie Pye. I met her today and she was really unfriendly. Diana told me that she had always dreamed you would marry her. I guess she hates me, because I'm engaged to you."
"Josie Pye?" Gilbert asked. He had never thought that Josie had any hopes.
"Did she also have a chance?" Anne asked, suddenly insecure.
Gilbert laughed loudly and drew her into his arms. "No, never. I would never have married Josie. Besides, I found my true love in Halifax. I'm so glad that you broke your ankle. Actually, I should be thankful for this paling." Gentle he stroked a lock of hair away from her face and smiled tenderly.
"And it doesn't bother you that my hair is red?"
"You silly goose," grumbled Gilbert. "Don't you know that I love your hair? That I love everything about you?"
Anne didn't answer, but kissed him.
They were interrupted as John Blythe cleared his throat. Startled, they both looked up. John was coming on the porch and said: "I don't want to disturb you, but supper is ready." And he went inside.
Anne's cheeks were blushing with embarrassment and hastily she stood up. But Gilbert grabbed her arm and looked at her, begging: "Please give me one more kiss, Anne."
"Gil," hissed Anne quietly. "Your parents are waiting."
"Please.." With puppy eyes he looked at Anne.
Anne smiled and kissed him again. Finally he let her go with a sigh and they went inside.
Soon the beautiful time in Avonlea was past and Anne and Gilbert had to go back to Halifax. Anne and Diana promised to write each other. A nice friendship was starting to develop between the two.
During the stay in Avonlea they all spoke a lot about the approaching wedding. Anne and Gilbert decided to marry in September. Mrs. Blythe planned the ceremony in the garden. Anne hugged her parents-in-laws before she got on the train with Gilbert.
