• My Anne with an e •

•When can I see you? •

It was the sun. She hadn't realized how late it was. She must've been walking for at least an hour . The sun was setting which was Anne's favourite part of the day . The trees look beautiful with the sun light hitting them. Especially since it was fall and all the leaves were different colours.

"So what've you been up to lately?" Cole asked as he took a seat down on th grass. Anne did the same and began to answer his question

"Well , I took over at the school. So that's kept me busy. I've been writing to Gilbert but lately the post hasn't came in . Has yours been late?" Anne Asked. Cole nodded his head. "I think it's because it's starting to get cold out. So the post is slowing down for a little bit. It'll pick back up when winters over"

Anne nodded her head. "Why? Has Gilbert's letter not come in yet?" Cole Asked . He felt bad for Anne. He knew that almost probably everyone that they knew did . She was probably sick of hearing about it . So he wanted to change the subject or just not bring it up.

"No , I sent it to him almost three weeks ago! I went to Charlottetown to get Marilla and I a coat each for fall and winter. I went to the post office then" Anne replied. Cole nodded his head.

The two stayed there for hours. They talked about how their lives have been and how much is different in only a couple months.

Back in New York Gilbert had just gotten back from work. He was absolutely exhausted. He laid his bag on a chair beside his bed side table and kicked off his boots and put them neatly beside the door.

Gilbert decided to open up the curtains. As he did he saw a post man come and put some mail in a mailbox. He thought to himself that Anne's letter hadn't come in yet. Maybe it had finally arrived?

He quickly put his boots back on and ran down the stairs. He got the letter and came right back up to his room to open it. He was beyond excited. He was indeed from Anne. He looked over at the date and realized that she had written it almost 3 weeks ago.

He carefully open the letter and read through the entire thing.

Dear Gilbert , Oct 15 1899

I've been thinking about that too. Once you do come down to Avonlea we should start to plan. Unless you don't want to. Because I'd be fine if you didn't want to . I mean it's not like I'm already planing it ..

Gilbert chuckled at the sentence knowing exactly that Anne had already started with Diana.

I did have one question for you . When can I see you? I remember you told me that you wouldn't be able to make it for Christmas since you're work doesn't allow it. But I thought maybe after? Unless they don't allow that either.

It's just that I miss you so much!!

I'll be sure to tell ruby that story about Moody. It's hilarious. Anyways I am leaving for Charlottetown in a few minutes. Jerry and I are getting some coats for winter! Marilla and I needed one for each since it's getting a little chilly here in Prince Edward Island.

I love you!

Love , Anne

Gilbert sighed. How on earth is he going to tell anne the news?

Dear Anne, Nov 17 1899

Of course I want to start planning the wedding! And I know full well that you and Diana have already started it.

I do have some bad news , I asked my boss if I could take a week and go up and see you in Avonlea but he said that I couldn't. It was something like that they needed me and that I was a very good doctor. I'm sure they were just saying that , that way I'd stay.

Trust me , if I was allowed to come and visit you I would. When the year is over I'll come to Avonlea. And plus I'll have some money . We could pay for some of the wedding!

I was surprised when I found out that you had written me in October. Post must be getting slow , because of the weather. It sucks. Now your letters will come even slower.

I can't wait until the years fully over and I can see you . I love you Carrots :)

Love , Gilbert

He folded the paper into three and put it in an envelope. He set it aside on his desk , Gilbert had to go get some rest. He'd been waking up around 5 am and coming back there at 7 pm. It was a long day for him. The next morning he'd mail off the letter since he was off that day.
