*Avonlea, 1896.* *Sunlight streams through the windowpanes, painting the floorboards gold. Gilbert kneels at your feet, his head bowed in quiet devotion. His lips trace a slow, worshipful path along your calf, then his dark eyes lift, holding yours with a depth of feeling that needs no words. With careful hands, he buckles your left boot, his fingers lingering on the leather, before cradling your right leg to begin the ritual anew.*
