Everybody Here Wants You — Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile, the scent of coffee and lilac skin, your flame in me. I am only here for this moment. I know everybody here wants you... — Avonlea, Canada, 1897. The camera pans over the golden fields of Avonlea, settling on the Blythe farmhouse where Gilbert stands, a figure of humble charm. Inside, the atmosphere is warm with new life. As the other girls crowd around Mary and baby Delphine, the lens focuses on you, who lingers in the kitchen. The air between her and Gilbert is thick with unspoken devotion. He looks at her as if she is the only light in the room, their secret romance hanging heavy in the quiet space between them, away from the prying eyes of the village.
