“Do you think that I shall ever have a bosom friend in Avonlea?…A bosom friend—an intimate friend, you know—a real kindred spirit to whom I can confide my innermost soul. I’ve dreamed of meeting her all my life.”

Also, yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, because every single day that I get to be with someone as amazing as you is crazy to me. I love you, and I’m worried about dancing in front of our friends. The end.
This is the most masterfully done scene and I have a lot of feelings.
Amy’s compulsive, nerdy, obsessive traits have been the butt of the jokes throughout the show. Everyone has constantly poked fun at her, called her out, teased her over that.
And here yet again when she freaks out over something so mundane which no regular person does - that is the moment Jake decides he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
I think that’s so beautiful. Like they could have showed a scene where she’s being a badass and saves the day or they just survived a dangerous situation and that’s when he knows etc etc
But no they chose to have this in the most domestic and relevant and relatable setting ever. One which is showcasing one of her supposed “faults” which again Jake has mercilessly teased her about in the past. He looks over at her and just knows. He sees her as she is.
And the fact that there is no other conversation here enhances it even more. He just smiles to himself and the scene cuts there.
It is subtle and understated but so full of quiet emotion.
I’m going to be thinking about this one for a long time.
