Chapter One – Stupid
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stupid.
Logan Huntzberger wasn't stupid. Sure, he had done some stupid things in his life, or with his life, as his father would undoubtedly hasten to tell you, but he wasn't stupid by any means.
No, Logan might be arrogant, wealthy, charming, and gorgeous, not to mention utterly complicated, but no one would ever accuse him of being stupid. Because even after every mistake, every trouble, every hint of pain he had caused, Logan never lost sight of what he wanted and he knew without a doubt – she was it.
In fact, come to think of it, nothing he did around her was ever stupid, in all actuality it was his actions without her presence which were, more often than not, highly questionable.
And so, even as he pulled his Porsche through Huntzberger compound's steel gates for what would be the last time, he knew this falling out was, and really always had been, inevitable, knew that in the end he was gaining more than even he, the richest of the rich, had to lose, and for this single realization he would remain far from stupid.

Stupid.
Rory Gilmore was stupid. Not in the literal sense of course, anyone who'd spent five minutes with the girl could tell you that, but in an emotional sense – she was stupid.
Rory might have had the best grades in her year at the all-prestigious Yale, but now, as usual, that wasn't what mattered. She had long ago promised herself that it would end. That her habit of running away from everything and everyone would cease to exist when she found the right person, but now she had to face the facts. She was the stupid one, the one who couldn't hold on to anything to save her life.
She loved him, so much it sometimes hurt, yet she still pushed him away, the whole time knowing that this was stupid because she also knows, deep inside, that he is really, truly, the one.
Even so, as she sits down to another dinner at her mother's Inn, she can't help but wonder whether he really loves her to the same extent, can't stop that nagging feeling that, to him, she will always be some sort of game, and for this single thought she would once again be stupid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She didn't know and honestly wouldn't even begin to believe how much he loved her, how much he actually needed her. But little did she know, tonight he was out to prove everything to her once and for all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mansion was frigid and the stale air engulfed him as the maid led him into the parlour. This didn't deter Logan though – he was on a mission. Ever since getting out of the hospital, he had not been able to shake one thought from his head; there was Rory, being so kind and so caring, and he had almost lost her, and this time for good, all because of stupid Huntzberger pride.
Well he knew he couldn't let that happen, and he certainly wasn't going to let his family make that happen, so he was here. Here at his much despised childhood home, here to confront the bane of his existence, his seemingly all-knowing father, AKA Mitchum Huntzberger.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If it was possible the room got cooler as his father approached and Logan felt his resolution quiver, although, to his credit, it was only for a short moment.
"I'm not going to London," it was a statement, not a question, and thankfully it came across more sternly than Logan had thought or even hoped it would.
And then, almost as if an afterthought, he added, "I'll need the keys to the safe too," which Mitchum clearly understood because at that it became obvious that he had had enough.
"Logan, if you leave this house with that ring it's over; you can forget being a member of this family, and the benefits that come along with it," he stated, under the false impression that Logan still cared.
But he was talking to a new Logan, a son who finally knew love, a son who realized that his father couldn't have any more pull than he would allow.
So Logan calmly took the keys, wordlessly walked out into the study, took the ring, and then proceeded out of the palatial building. Yes, he knew exactly what he wanted, and for once in his life, he was going to get it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never would he have fathomed that at that same instant, Rory was coming to a conclusion of her own. A conclusion that would, fortunately for him, come out in his favour.
