Last chapter.

After leaving the library, Anne stopped at her dorm room to drop off her books and change as she realized that she was still wearing the same clothes as last night. Thinking about last night made her smile ever since she realized that she loved Gilbert. Now she needed to find him and tell him.

Anne knew that Gilbert was in class for another half-an-hour and since she wasn't patient enough to wait for him to go back to his room, she decided to wait outside his classroom to see him. She arrived outside the door with 15 minutes to spare so spent that time pacing and thinking about what she was going to say to him.

The class ended 5 minutes early so Anne watched for Gilbert but yet Gilbert was not in the line of students leaving the class. When the last student walked out of the room, Anne started panicking. Gilbert was a stickler for going to every class. He would never skip. But yet he wasn't there. Anne grew impatient that she couldn't talk to him now and turned around to go wait for him at his dorm room.

It was just as Anne was walking away that she heard, "Anne." She froze as she knew that voice. She turned, ran towards him and leaped him his arms for a hug. This sudden action caused Gilbert to drop his books so he could wrap his arms around her.

With Gilbert's arms still around her, Anne looked up at him and said, "Where were you? Why weren't you in class?"

"I was in class. The classroom got changed at the last minute," Gilbert answered. "Why do you care?" he asked before looking around and during which he realized that Anne was here for him. "You were waiting for me, weren't you?"

"Yes, I am because I needed to talk to you."

"Ok. About what?" Gilbert asked waiting. He really had no idea at that moment what Anne needed to talk to him about.

Seeing Gilbert had made Anne forget how she was going to tell him so she just kissed him. This was a shorter kiss than their earlier one but portrayed what Anne was feeling. Anne looked him in the eyes once again and said the words that Gilbert was waiting to hear. "I love you too."

Gilbert was smiling from ear to ear and Anne laughed as Gilbert picked Anne up and spun her around.

After a couple of spins, Gilbert dropped Anne back onto the floor, picked up his books off the floor, grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go." They left the building and walked hand-in-hand back to Gilbert's dorm room. They talk along the way about everything that had happened over the last two days.

Over the week of exams, Gilbert & Anne were inseparable. If they weren't in class, they were studying together, watching movies, or just hanging out.

Three Years Later

It was the day of graduation. Anne was graduating with a Bachelor of Arts and Gilbert was graduating from the Pre-Med program and heading to Med school in the fall.

They were more in love with each other than when they both admitted it at the end of their freshman year. Every summer when Gilbert stayed in Kingsport to work, Anne stayed with him. And starting their junior year, they live together in an apartment off campus. They were always together which is just how they wanted it. Everyone in the school knew about them and there were rumors about them getting engaged.

So after the graduation ceremony, surrounded by his parents, Marilla, Diana, and their fellow graduates, Gilbert took Anne's hand, got down on one knee, open a box, and said, "Anne, I love you and I never want us to be apart. You have my heart. So Anne Shirley, will you…"

Before Gilbert could finish, Anne shouted, "Yes, yes," and leaned down to kiss him.

When they broke apart, Gilbert continued, "Let me finish. Anne Shirley, will you marry me?"

Anne just nodded this time with tears running down her face when Gilbert slid the ring that was covered in pearls onto her finger. He stood up and they kissed to the sounds of cheering around them.

"I thought we agreed to wait until you finished medical school before you asked," Anne said a little while later.

"I can take it back if you want to wait," Gilbert joked as he reached for the ring.

Anne pulled her hand away and said, "You are never getting this ring back, Mr. Blythe. We are stuck together forever now."

"Just the way I want it."
