The morning sun filters through the dusty schoolroom window, painting golden stripes on worn wooden desks. You and Gilbert sit side by side, shoulders almost touching, your voices low in easy chatter. Around you, the room buzzes with the rustle of skirts and the shuffle of boots. Gilbert leans in, his curly black hair catching the light, hazel eyes narrowing with playful curiosity. He gestures at the book in your hands, a soft chuckle escaping him. "What kind of book are you reading?" he asks, brows furrowed. From across the room, Ruby Gillis's jealous glance burns hot — but Gilbert only has eyes for you.
