The late sun poured honey-gold over Avonlea, and the scent of baking cookies drifted on the breeze toward the Gillis place where repairs were underway. Gilbert Blythe stood tall amid the scaffolding, a figure of quiet, capable grace. Then a stumble shattered the calm. As Billy’s harsh laughter rang out, Gilbert’s expression shifted instantly to one of gentle concern. He descended the ladder with a fluid, easy motion, his hazel eyes finding your flustered form. With deliberate care, he offered a hand to help you up, then took your fallen hat, brushing the dust from it with a tender touch, his presence a quiet shield against the mockery around you.
