BOOK 2 OF HOME TO AVONLEA IS NOW UP!! I JUST PUBLISHED THE FIRST CHAPTER - GO CHECK IT OUT.
HERE'S A SNEAK PEAK TO TEASE YOU WITH:
Desperately tired of her boring book, Anne glanced up at Gilbert and thought how handsome he looked. His hair had grown a lot, falling in dark curls around his lightly-tanned face. Light brown freckles scattered over his nose and there was a thoughtful glint in his eyes as he stared out the window. His light shirt hung off his lean body as he stretched. He was looking so mature now, Anne had even begun to notice hints at scruff appearing along his firm jaw. Gilbert was almost eighteen after all - nearly a man. Anne still felt that flurry of butterflies in her chest whenever she was near him.
Gilbert looked over at the redhead who was absently gazing at his face.
"Are you staring at me?" Gilbert said.
"Don't talk to me, you'll distract me." Anne replied briskly.
Gilbert grinned at her and leant forward over the table on his elbows, holding her gaze. He touched Anne's hair and gently fiddled with a long curl of red hair.
"Wow, how long I've dreamed of having the power to obtain Anne Shirley's attention."
Anne instantly flung her pencil at him which he caught easily much to her mild frustration. "Oh, get out of here, Blythe."
Inspiration siezed the mischievous boy, caused by his desire to be out in the sun enjoying the beautiful day and Anne's delightful company.
"Hey... What say you - shall we make a break for it?" He teased quietly.
