It's fun to quote things out of context

From L. M. Montgomery's Anne's House of Dreams:

When their work was done and Gilbert was out of the way, they [Anne and Leslie] gave themselves over to shameless orgies of love-making and ecstasies of adoration

Leslie is a close female friend of Anne's.

I could ship it. IIRC, Leslie was very intense and a little emo in her friendship with Anne. Of course, Gilbert and Anne are still newlyweds and one wouldn't want to break that up, but they could be poly.

...What am I doing to my own childhood, god.

Yeah, I can see it, too. There's definitely something intense about their friendship--it's that sort of friendship which is almost like a crush. And Anne is really fascinated by Leslie's beauty.
