It felt like years since he started military school, since he left Hartford, since he left her. But in reality it had only been about one. Every night when he went to bed, or every time he listened to music, he thought of her. The way her hair cascaded down her gack, how she self consciously tucked her hair behind her ears, or how she really pays attention to something important, and chews on her pen, without even realizing she's doing it. They were just the little things he loved about her. She was smart, funny, beautiful, graceful, and matched him every time he made a witty comment to her. Yes, she was almost an extinct species, one that would make Tristan DuGrey fall all over himself. She saw right through his player image and saw him, not not his money and title, that so many only saw. He use to think of her as a game, but her reluctence to give, to play the game with him, only made him love her, and the more she rebelled, the more he loved her. When they kissed that one night, it meant the world to him, only to have it come crashing down around him when she told the other man that she loved him, and hated Tristan. It broke his heart. And no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sto. There's no question about it, he loved Rory Gilmore. So there he was, at military school, out of his own stupidity. He thought a life without Rory would be easier than seeing her every day knowing she would never be his, to know that she was wasting her love on the bag boy. He longed for her every day.

It was mid January, and he was to go home to stay, his grandfather sent for him to go. Because God knows that his father wouldn't let him go back. When he got the letter from his grandfather yesterday, he couldn't have been happier. He was finally going home to Hartford, Chilton, and to Rory. The anticipation was almost enough to kill him, for tomorrow he was to leave this horrible place. Part of him knew that only reason he actually wanted to go home, was to see her.
