Anne and Gilbert are not in high school anymore, but their paths will inevitably cross again. When the past comes back to haunt you and revive feelings that never left in the first place, all you can do is either be terrified about it or be fascinated about the unforeseen fate. Sequel to STARING.

Gilbert Blythe has a serious problem when it comes to Anne Shirley-Cuthbert - he stares at her too much! "Do you believe in soulmates?" he asks, half-joking, half-wanting to know the answer. "Well, no" she says "I mean, not in the 'I know you from another past life' way... but I do believe in the rare happening of two people that meet by pure and random chance and they just... something just clicks, you know?"

She's an orphan, broken and lost in the world. Having been in and out of foster homes since she can remember, love is a concept very foreign to her. All she feels is empty. He's the 'golden boy'. Loved by everyone in the school, especially the girls. Well all except for one that is. What will happen when the two discover that despite their vast differences, they each have the ability to bring joy and happiness to the other? Will they finally learn to trust each other or will their relationship amount to a mere school rivalry? Only time will tell. Because after all, everyone has their own story. And this is the story of Gilbert Blythe and his Princess Cordelia
