She was thinking, sitting on a plane with "non-stop service to Alanta, Georgia," as the attendant so kindly said over the intercom. She searched her memory to figure out if she had ever been there before. She hadn't. She had also discovered that none of her relatives or anybody that knew her family lived there. She thought about this earlier while she was standing in line to buy a ticket to anywhere but here. She needed to get away from Star's Hollow and and mostly just Connecticut. Too many bad memories to out weigh the good ones.
"What would you like to drink?" asked the polite hostess as she handed Lorelai a bag of airline peanuts.
"Nothing, thank you." She answered hazily, shaken from her thoughts.
After the woman had moved onto the next person, Lorelai went back to her lonesome thoughts. She really needed to take a shower or at least splash her face with cool water. She got up from her seat and walked to the back of the cabin. All of the sudden, a wave of nausea hit her. She ran the rest of the way to the bathroom. As soon as she closed the door, Lorelai bent over the sink and let it all out of her mouth. When she was done, she sank to the floor and began to cry.
