I am returning with my new feature... Why I love which takes place on Wednesdays. Today's proclamation of love concerns our Favorite Book Couples
Why I Love...Anne & Gilbert
I've been obsessed with books that I read when I was younger and I chose my book couple from one of my favorite childhood series, Anne of Green Gables. I remember how much I loved this couple as a kid. I love couples that have great chemistry and I tend to have a minor (or HUGE) crush on the hero. I'm a bit shallow these days. But back then...I fell in love with a couple based on the words that they said to each other. I was such a romantic :)
“ I’ve loved you ever since that day you broke your slate over my head in school.” -Anne of the Island
“For a moment Anne's heart fluttered queerly and for the first time her eyes faltered under Gilbert's gaze and a rosy flush stained the paleness of her face. It was as if a veil that had hung before her inner consciousness had been lifted, giving to her view a revelation of unsuspected feelings and realities. Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps. . . perhaps. . .love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath. ” - Anne of Avonlea
P.S. Guess you just turned in her last law school paper ever?! (Doing my happy dance!!) I've been absent all week so I have a lot of catching up to do. Graduation is Saturday!! Ahhh! I can't believe Law School is over!!!
