Emily's POV

As I sit at the dinner table, I look around at the picture that it's showing before my own eyes. As I eat very slowly the roast that Delia made, I am very pleased in seeing, on my left my daughter talk animatedly about something to her father, a picture that I haven't seen in almost thirty years, but at my right, I could see almost the awkwardness fly off Rory, trying to look at anybody but at her own father, whom was sitting next to her... of course I have no idea what happened there, but I could see that it was very bad.

All night I could see Rory's reaction's to her father, no matter what Lorelai did to dissipate it. But trying to hold the conversation going between Christopher and Rory, was a very tiring work, and Lorelei had finally gave up just after we began eating. Not that Richard and I didn't notice this during drinks, but we didn't say anything. I don't know why Richard didn't voice his concerns, but as for myself I didn't want to ruin that incredible feeling that I had, like when it's Christmas and you finally get the gift that you want: and for me was my daughter finally getting over that greasy man, and be with Christopher, the father of her child. As the Emily Gilmore, prominent member of the Hartford society is growing with fondness of the situation before her eyes, my other side the Emily, mother and grandmother warned me to look, really look at my daughter and granddaughter eyes, because something was very wrong.

As I hear my name being called, I look over my daughter, and I nod, not entirely sure of what she asked me, but as she turn to the table satisfied, I shook myself off my reverie, and really look.

As Christopher is talking to all of us I notice that Lorelei eyes don't quite have their usual brightness, that really make her Lorelei, and as i look at my left I actually saw Rory cringe at her father voice.

Something is definitely going on, and I intend on getting to the bottom of this, therefore I try a little experiment, something that was so completely in character for me, just to see the reaction, because sure as my name is Emily Gilmore, I knew exactly what was causing Lorelei, sadness and Rory so much animosity towards her own father.

- so, how is Luke doing these days ?

As I asked my question, everybody stood still, Lorelei froze on her spot, Rory avoided looking in my eyes, Christopher clenched his jaw, and Richard looked at me as if I had an aneurysm or something, and as for myself I could hear a pin drop...

so, should i continue?
