Shadow

by Lorelei of the Sea

What I think Lorelai felt like after she told Emily she was engaged to Max.

Shadow

A.N. I wrote this after I saw the episode where Lorelai tells Emily she's engaged to Max. Hope you like it.

Why are you crying again?

You've cried before.

But those were shadow tears

Why are you crying again?

It hurt before.

But that was shadow pain.

Why are you crying again?

You screamed before.

But now the shadow's gone

And light is here.

You still don't understand.
