The Avonlea Scandal | Shirbert

When an innocent but compromising situation leads to gossip in Avonlea, Anne Shirley-Cuthbert and Gilbert Blythe are forced into a fake engagement to protect Anne's reputation. As they navigate their new "relationship," Anne comes to terms with her hate turned love, while Gilbert struggles to hide how much he's always wanted this to be real.

But will pretending turn into something more? Or will Anne's stubborn heart (and words) keep them apart forever?

"i love you, i'm sorry
you were the best, but you were the worst
as sick as it sounds, i loved you first
i was a dick, it is what it is
a habit to kick, the age old curse
i tend to laugh whenever i'm sad
i stare at the crash, it actually works
making amends, this shit never ends
i'm wrong again, wrong again."
