This takes place after this years season finale and half of the seventh season. Luke and Lorelai have been broken up for 2 months. Luke broke off the engagement once Lorelai told him that she slept with Christopher and Lorelai broke it off at the same time, she told Luke she was tired of being last in his life, the top two being April and Anna. So basically they did not end on a happy note, there was a lot of yelling and not a lot of talking. After the breakup Luke told Anna that he didn't want her coming to Stars Hollow because Luke didn't want Lorelai to think him and Anna got back together, even if they were broken up. They decided that April would take the bus over after school and then Luke would drive her home.

Christopher and Lorelai did not get back together after the breakup. However, Chris had been there for her. He was there when she cried herself to sleep for the 1st month of the breakup and he was there to help her get back on her feet and start working again. He became the person she could talk to about whatever was bothering her, besides Rory of course. Now after two months he is standing in front of her telling her that he is leaving. They are standing in the foyer and Chris is saying goodbye.

"So you're leaving me too." Lorelai sighs with a sad look on her face.

"I wish I wasn't leaving. You know I have to go, right?"

"Yeah, I know, but why all the way to California?"

"I told you. My job is relocating to the western seaboard. I promise to call and see how you and Rory are doing."

"First Rory goes to Yale, then Luke and I break up and now you're going across the country." She sniffs back her tears.

"Hey, hey. Come here." He pulls her into a hug and she starts crying softly into his chest. Stroking her hair he says, "You have Sookie and the Inn, and I'm sure if you call Rory she would be over here in a flash. Everything will get better soon you'll see. You can move on from this, I promise." She steps out of his embrace and they look at each other.

"Okay, well Gigi is in the car and my flight leaves soon, so I better get going."

She nods and he pulls her in for one last hug goodbye. He starts walking towards the door but stops when he hears her voice.

"Chris."

"Yeah?" He says turning around.

"Is it okay that I don't want to get over him yet?"

"Just don't wallow for too much longer. Life is too short to hang onto something that isn't really there."

"Thank you. Not just for saying that but for everything you have done for me these last two months."

"Anytime. Goodbye Lorelai."

"Goodbye Christopher."

Chris gets in his car and drives away. Lorelai stands in the driveway until he is gone, then turns and goes back into the house. She looks around at the empty house and sighs. Despite what Chris told her, it was time to wallow. She goes to the kitchen for ice cream and settles down to watch a movie in the living room and thinks about the sorry state of her life.
