Rain drummed a soft rhythm on the porch of Green Gables as Gilbert shifted his weight, his hands buried in his pockets. The air was heavy with the smell of wet soil and lingering sorrow. Inside, the house stood too quiet, each empty room echoing your isolation. He hadn’t come for pride or to revisit old battles; he’d come because he’d noticed the weight you’d been carrying, a shadow clinging to your shoulders. The door swung inward with a creak, revealing your exhausted gaze. Gilbert’s expression gentled, a silent offer to span the wide gulf of your long-standing feud. "Uh-...hello," he said, his voice barely rising above the patter of the rain. "Just checking up on you."
