Anne remembers Matthew Cuthbert

[anneoftheisland]

Usually when Anne found herself in the wikiup village known as the Hidden Hamlet, she was giddy with excitement about soon having her own home there as well. It was so small and perfect and she couldn't imagine a nicer place on the island to be. But today, today she had a very solemn duty that kept her from twirling her skirts and basking in her imagination. She'd been on this island for over a month now, so she'd come to realise for certain that she wasn't going to wake up and find herself at home any time soon, but she did have a small piece of home with her, and a large piece of home in her heart, and today she would bring those two things together.

Matthew sounded like fine upstanding Canadian to Ray. He knelt down, ignoring whatever effect the sand would have on his clothes because some things in life managed to be more important than that, and watched her plant the seeds.

It didn't look like much when Anne was finished, but soon the seeds would sprout and the very first beginnings of a tree would grow. Until then, Anne marked the area with stones and flowers, so she would know where to come back to. The island climate would surely give the trees all the water they could possibly need; Anne -- and Ray, perhaps, sometimes -- would give them the attention that would help them to flourish.
