Anne Shirley-Cuthbert was hesitating on what she was to write,

How would she start?

Oh! Dear Cassie,- wait no, should I call her Cassie or her full name?

Alright, Dear Cassandra Deighton- seems a bit formal, does she have a middle name?

Pieces of crumpled paper piled on top of another as she scraped off whatever she wrote; Ruby has been troubling her as the younger blonde urged her to write a letter to Cassandra and Gilbert about the gold in Avonlea,

The girls have formulated a plan as Anne was to write while Diana was to send it off to wherever their old classmates were.

And now, she was to write a letter for the girl she deeply admired, telling her to come back from her exotic trip to wherever she may be just because of gold.

Sighing, she let her mind free from its restraints and let her heart speak with the words she wrote on the parchment.

That was that Anne huffed before forcing herself to put fold the letter into an envelope and address it to Cassandra,

It would probably take three months before arriving in France or on the cruise she was in,

but that was alright.

The siblings had boarded a train to Paris. The city of Love was just a phrase from a book the girl had once read, though now she was there. She felt odd, anxiety had hit her like a truck, eating her up and consuming her as always. Her palms started sweating as she stares out the train window, a crease on her forehead had begun to form as she scrunched her brows.

"You'll be fine Cass," Joseph advised from beside her, "How'd you know I've been feeling weird." The girl mentioned, "Your leg has been bouncing and you've been sliding your hands on your dress, you're definitely nervous." Joseph says with a slight laugh,

"How could I not be nervous? Any moment now, we might just meet our father." The girl whines, "We'd have to find him first," Her brother laughs, "I remember father as a pretty carefree person, Cass. I'm sure he'd just hug you because he hasn't seen you since you were what- two?" He smiles,

"Alright fine, I'll just try to...relax." She speaks,

"I used to hear a lot about Paris from father and mother before you were born," Joseph states as both were aloof as they gaze at the fast-moving terrain, "He said something about our aunt and S-Sorbonne. I didn't know what Sorbonne was until I saw it in a newspaper once, I have a very good feeling that he's just there, in Sorbonne, and he'd be very happy that we've come to find him." He says as he tried to lighten the mood,

"What if he asks about mother?" The girl gloomily mentions,

"Then we tell him what happened."
