    Summary

    March 2020. The Atlantic Provinces are creating a bubble to avoid a surge in Covid cases, and Anne is left outside as they close borders. Stranded in Toronto, she knows no one at all. Or does she?

    “You are kidding me, Diana Barry! Baynard! Are you even hearing what you’re saying? I’m not calling Gilbert Blythe. I prefer to sleep in my dingy place and then befriend all the homeless people in Toronto and then walk to PEI and stand there until they open the damn border before calling him! It is just not going to happen! Today, tomorrow or ever, it is out of the question! I’m done with him and I will never ask him for any favours!” She had been glad not to see him in the past ten years. Well, not glad. But relieved. Because it was just too hard.
     

    “I actually called to ask you a favour. Huge one,” Diana answered. He could tell she was nervous.
    “I need you to call Anne and let her stay at your place until PEI opens the borders,” Diana said quickly, as if to take the effect off the words. There was a short silence. Then he laughed. Because the notion was so absurd, he could not think of any other reaction. If she had asked him to get a cow that gave chocolate milk, it would have seemed more serious.

    Summary

    Anne only wanted to fit in. She wasn’t in any way interest in Gilbert Blythe, and she just wished he would stop telling everyone she was his future wife. She would never be with anyone so disgustingly immature.

    Or would she?

     

    Gilbert was going through a lot right now, and his friends where in no way helping. He was tired of being Gilbert Blythe. He needed an escape.

    Anne was the perfect distraction.

    Summary

    Anne Shirley-Cuthbert was not having the merriest of Christmases. She was over-worked and exhausted and worst of all, her flight home to Green Gables for the holidays kept getting delayed later and later. And if being trapped in the airport for Christmas wasn’t bad enough, a very obnoxious and unfortunately, very handsome man won’t leave her alone to wallow in her misery. Can two stranded strangers find a little joy in an otherwise blue Christmas?
