Lorelai peered over his shoulder as he fixed the upstairs bathroom sink. It was the fourth time this week that he'd been at her house. First it was to fix the exterior faucet, then the porch railing, followed by the TV, and now the upstairs bathroom sink was clogged.
With Luke being around so much, he and Lorelai had adopted a routine. He would bring his toolbox, Bert, and meet her and Sally, the radio, wherever the house needed fixing. Lorelai would listen to Sally and sing along, with occasional dancing, as Luke got to work repairing whatever was broken. They would chat and keep up on their witty, flirtatious banter all the while.
Today, however, neither of them were particularly chatty. The bathroom got horrible radio reception, so Lorelai was buys fiddling with the tuning knobs, trying to find a station.
"Will you just pick one already? It's hard to focus on the clogged sink with all the fuzz in the background," Luke grumbled.
"Well, would you rather I just sing? I'm no Streisand, but I could try."
"Uh…how about you just stop on the next station you find, no matter what. Deal?"
"Deal," Lorelai agreed and continued fiddling with the dial. Soon she heard music come over the radio waves.
I know you by heart
Like the road back home
I know if we touched, I'd have to have you alone
I know you by heart
You're my very best friend
Wow, Lorelai thought to herself, That is so what I was just thinking about Luke.
I know if I let you back, it would all start again
'Cause you run wild, wind in your hair
You love for the moment, live for the journey to who knows where
And all I fear you can't control
It's just your nature
You can't find what you need in one soul, and
I know you by heart
Like the road back home
I know if we touched, I'd have to have you alone
I know you by heart
Like my own flesh and blood
What I feel for you, babe, goes deeper than love
Holy crap, that's Lorelai! Luke started himself with the realization. I can't believe how well this song knows my every thought about her.
In your arms I feel the strength of all that's true
And when you say you love me, I know I was meant for you
But I don't know the part, no I don't know that part
No, I don't know what makes you go away
But I am tired, worn down and all
I haven't the patience, the courage to take another fall
All I need is simple and sweet
To wake in the morning with the one who wants me for keeps, and
I know you by heart
Like the road back home
I know if we touched I'd have to have you alone
I know you by heart
Every inch of your skin
I know if I let it start, I'd never want it to end
I know you by heart, the heart of your soul
I know you like the only home that I'll ever know
By now Luke had turned to face Lorelai. Slowly, he placed his hand son her hips and pulled her into him. She gazed knowingly into his eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. She reached up and pulled his head down to hers. Their lips collided in a passionate, longing kiss. Emotions that had been held in for too long overflowed. AT that moment, they both knew their relationship could never be the same.
At the moment this is it, but if you think I should keep going I just might. Please R&R!
