Through a series of letters, Benedict and Sophie share their hopes, fears and desires, creating a place that belongs to them alone.

Summary
“Before he could move two paces a familiar voice echoed across the room. A burst of applause was followed by a sweet sing-song laugh, then more applause. He did not need to see the red hair, or her face, to know it was Anne.
Gilbert could admit honestly Anne had rarely crossed his mind in the last four years. He had moved on from her rejection, funnelled the sadness into his school work that led to many achievements. Truthfully he was a happy man. He told Charlie Sloane that if it weren't for Anne turning him down the Cooper Prize wouldn't have been won so easily and the dream of medical school would have only been a dream. Just as Gilbert was about to take a step back to leave Anne looked up catching his eye.”

Summary
Missing scene from The Summit of My Desires (Episode 6, Season 3)
I have always wondered how Gilbert arranged for Winifred and her parents travel from the Fair to the dance. Earlier in the day Gilbert takes Sebastian and Delly to the Fair, then goes to Bright River to collect Winifred and her family. But how do they get to the Dance after?? Sebastian would have needed to return home with Delly with the carriage leaving Gilbert without a carriage. This fic is filling in the gap and having some fun with Winifred's character as she observes Anne and Gilbert together.
