RACHEL LYNDE was the one to break the news to Anne that cold December morning.
Yes, Anne remembers it all too well.
It may be her particular lullaby blasting through her Walkman's headphones, or the tranquility of the night, or the fact that she feels relieved, free, and honest for a change.
But everything surrounding her makes her remember the events of that fateful winter evening.
That Christmas break was the beginning of the end.
It all started that December morning.
December 23rd, 2018
Anne Shirley-Cuthbert had woken up later than usual — it was around eleven in the morning when she opened her eyes to the sound of an incoming text on her phone. It was Diana Barry, telling her all about some Netflix show she had been watching over the past few months.
One eye open and the other still closed, Anne managed to text back a reply.
It was her first day back home since her first three months in New York. That could probably explain the reason why she had overslept — no bed in the world could ever compare to her bed at home. Could it be the way her old blankets wrapped around her figure or maybe the personal decoration of her room?
The thing is that Anne had overslept, and all she could hear then was the sound of two people talking downstairs and the smell of strong coffee and home-made bread filling her nostrils.
It was this sensorial stimuli what finally got her out of the comfortableness of her bed.
Hair tied into a top knot and still wearing her warmest pajamas, she walked down the stairs. The muffled voices coming from the kitchen getting more and more audible as she got closer.
That was when she found Marilla enjoying her tea with the company of Rachel Lynde, her all time best friend.
Anne was one to think about the future very often — especially her profesional future. She wanted to become a writer, but that's the only thing she knew for certain.
