a story of broken promises

Clara WIlliams has lived in Avonlea for most of her life, and she's known Gilbert Blythe for just as long. Despite the rough start to their friendship, the pair have always been there when they needed one another because of a promise they made as children.

They were promised to never leave the other alone, but it's not how it worked out.

After his father's death, Gilbert left on a journey to find himself, leaving Clara alone and lost. While he's gone, Clara does her best to make it through the challenges life throws at her and ends up finding herself. It's not until Gilbert comes back that either of them realize the rift that one broken promise caused.

Can they go back to how it was before? Will their feelings for each other finally be admitted? Or will the two of them remain friends for the rest of their lives? And most importantly, how much damage can a broken promise cause?
