"You wouldn't leave Marilla. And you would never leave Green Gables. And you certainly wouldn't do either of those things for me." After his father's death, Gilbert is hired as a boarder at Green Gables, much to Anne's chagrin. Unable to escape from her feelings any longer, Anne is forced to confront Gilbert's ultimatum, or risk living as strangers. Inspired by arbitrarily, from Archive of our Own.
