Lorelai prepared herself for the big talk. She kept replaying the words through her mind, making sure everything sounded right. She knew this was going to be surprising and hard to comprehend so everything had to be perfect. As she was reciting the last words to herself, Christopher came inside and kissed her lightly.
Before he could continue, Lorelai exclaimed, "We need to talk."
"Ok. Is everything all right? Is Rory ok?"
"Yes, she's fine. Everything is ok. We need to talk about us."
"Ok…" Christopher said with a very confused look on his face.
"I've been thinking lately that this relationship isn't working." It was true. Lorelai realized that it wasn't what she wanted it to be. There was no chemistry or spark there anymore. The romance had died now.
She continued, "My whole life I've been afraid of commitment. I've pushed so many men away that I got close to, like Max. I think I use to believe that this relationship was the only sure relationship I've been in. I felt like relationship was the only one I could commit to and that it deserved another chance. So, I rushed into it. And then everything happened so fast and before I knew it we were married. But now, I realize that it wasn't the best thing to do. And the spark, the fire we use to have…well, it's not there anymore."
"This is about him, isn't? This is about Luke. You still love him don't you," Christopher interrupted her.
"No! This has nothing to do with Luke," Lorelai argued. Yet, deep down, she still knew that part of her heart belonged to Luke. She was still in love with him but Christopher didn't need to know that.
"No. Christopher, part of me will always love you. After all, you are Rory's father. I just feel like this marriage was spontaneous and out of fear. I was afraid I wasn't able to commit to anyone but now I realize that I can. And I think I should give true love a chance. A chance to find someone who I truly love and want to spend the rest of my life with."
"Like I said…this is for Luke."
"No…"
"Lorelai…you are my true love. I will always love you. But I can be the bigger man and see when I'm not wanted. I hope things work out for you," he said. He then gathered his things and walked out of Lorelai and Rory's life.
Lorelai took a deep breathe. She was only halfway finished with her tasks. She then grabbed her keys and drove to a place she hadn't been for a while. When she reached the diner, she entered it confidently.
"We're closed," Luke sternly said to her. Things between the two of them had been shaky for the past months because of the Christopher situation.
"Really? I mean there are so many people in here."
"What do you want Lorelai."
"I wanted to tell you that Christopher and me are no longer together."
"Congratulations."
"Yea…well…I wanted to tell you something else."
"What?" He looked at her angrily because she had broke his heart more than once.
"I love you!"
