Lorelai Gilmore had never liked Fall, whether you dressed it up as Autumn or tempted her with Halloween candy, she couldn't quite grasp the purpose of the season. The candy, however, she was perfectly happy to accept regardless. Fall was usually wet and miserable yet never quite cold enough that you needed to unpack your winter jacket. She hated that you could go out dressed up for the cold weather, only to find it actually a few degrees warmer than expected and then the second you take your coat off, the rain came tumbling down.
But none of that was the real reason she hated the Fall.
It was like a bridge between summer and winter, between sun and snow and it always felt like the longest bridge she'd ever had to walk across. Like if they ever built one to cross the waters between California and Hawaii.
She liked snow; anyone who knew her would say the same. In fact, they might possibly say that her love of snow was more of an infatuation, an affair of the heart, meant to be. It was the only constant in her life that had ever made sense. It came as the first sign that winter was well and truly present and when it left, she was filled with great sadness that lasted until the summer sun allowed her to go shopping for a whole new wardrobe.
If weather could be a man, she would definitely fall in love with Jack Frost. She would want to have his babies, multiple babies and make ice sculptures for the yearly competition. She would even name her children Jack and Icicle if she could find a man who loved snow as much as she.
So no, she didn't like Autumn at all. In fact, if she could eradicate a season or two she would ensure that it snowed for half of the year in order for her heart to be appeased for a lot longer. In fact, if she had her way, Fall wouldn't exist at all, neither would Spring or Summer and Winter would last for the whole year long.
