Say It Right
(Thoughts in italics; takes place two days before the wedding: in Season 2 with Max)
I sit at home listening to Nelly Furtado's 'Say It Right', while thinking if I should marry Max or not. I mean what about Christopher? I guess our past just goes out the window. What about Luke? Wait, did I just say Luke? I think I did. But we're just friends, why do I feel so connected to him? Well, there could be something there; Rory said Luke had a crush on me. Even my mother thought we were dating. I hear the door slam downstairs, and I worry if it's Max.
"Mom?" I hear Rory yell and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Upstairs." I yell back, over the music.
"Hey. Great song." Rory states as she flounces on the bed. I, obviously, am still thinking about Luke, and didn't hear what my daughter said.
"Hello?? Mom???" Rory says waving a hand in front of my face.
"What?" I say coming out of my thoughts.
"What's wrong?" she asks concerned.
"Well, I was thinking…" I pause to ask myself if I really wanna tell her this. 'I have to. She's my daughter, and my best friend.' I answer my question in my head. "I was thinking about what you said a long time ago about Luke."
"Luke? What did I say about Luke?" Rory asks eying me suspiciously.
"You said that he had a crush on me. And that-that he loved me." I said looking down at my hands.
"Well, yeah, I did. But that was months ago. Why is this all coming up now?" She asks touching my arm.
"I was sitting here listening to this song, and where she says 'You could mean everything to me', I thought about Chris and about our relationship. I realized there was nothing there, but what about Luke? Luke really fit that line. He could mean everything to me if I just gave him a chance like I did with Chris and Max." I stop to let this sink into Rory.
"Mom, it sounds to me that you love Luke instead of Max. Am I right?" She asks calmly.
"I don't know. I mean I think I love Max. I just don't feel that spark when I'm around him like I do with Luke. Whenever Luke accidentally brushes my hand when he refills my coffee, I get that spark." I say with the tears threatening to fall.
"Mom, go to him. I'll take care of Max, just go. You can't get married to someone, when you love someone else. It's not fair to Max." Rory says looking at me with a glow in her eye.
"Really? You would do that for me?" I ask as I just stare at her, as if she knows I want to run to Luke.
"Yes. And why you ask: because I love you. Now, go. Tell Luke I said congratulations." Rory says as I sprint out of the door thinking that I could really have it all.
"Thanks, Rory!" I yell thankful for my daughter.
