Hey guys! Hope you are liking this so far! I'm gonna write the first couple chapters this week just to write the setting and plot. Hope you like it!
Chapter 2:
And sure enough, there it was. Another book on the shelf by Dodger Danes. It was weird that the writer always had the last name of her family. She always wondered if she was related to him. She knew it was a him because she had once snuck into her mom's room to read the first chapter of one. It was in the first person, of course, always referring to himself as him or he.
This specific book was titled 'Blue Eyed Angel'. She wondered what the new book had in store. Looking at the shelf for the billionth time, she found a small book hidden behind all the rest. She pulled it out and read the title and author out loud, to herself, as her mom watched T.V. downstairs.
"The Subsect. By Jess Mariano." Why did that name sound so familiar? Jess. Mariano. Was it the first name? Was it the last name? It sounded so familiar and she was so close to grasping why but just couldn't get it. She was interrupted by sounds on the stairs. She quickly put the book behind the shelf and ran to her room before her mom caught her.
She ran into her closet to get her dress selected for Friday Night Dinner and set it on the bed. When her mom poked her head through the door, she had a light flush on her cheeks since, everyone knew that Gilmores DON'T run.
"You okay, Lora?" Rory asked.
"Yeah, fine. Just was reading a great part in Fangirl." Lora replied, trying to act casual. "You should really read it when you have time, mom."
"When I have time, babe. You about to get ready?" She checked her watch. "We have half an hour until we are leaving."
"Yeah, my dress is right here." Lora lifted her hand with the dress in it. "Good?"
"Perfect! Oh, and by the way, your Dad is visiting this weekend. Since he isn't gonna be here for Thanksgiving, he wanted to have a dinner with us."
"Oh. Okay, mom." Lora smiled.
Lora got dressed, put on her shoes and went to the bathroom.
She brushed her teeth, put on some Coppertone, and bing, bang, boom, the two Lorelais were out the door.
They sat on their porch with Lora reading and Rory on her phone waiting for the Danes Family.
Lorelai, Luke, Paige, and Will all walked over to the house on Peach. Will and Paige decided to race there so, they arrived 30 seconds before their parents.
"Daughter! My precious! I haven't seen you since breakfast! Oh, how its been so long!" Lorelai exaggerated, walking quickly over to Rory.
"Hey mom. Hey Luke." Rory replied to her mother's crazy choice of words.
"Hi guys." Lora replied, barely looking up from her book.
"Geez, Rory. She looks exactly like you did at her age. Brown hair with her face in a book!" Lorelai teased to both her daughter and granddaughter at the same time.
They then got in Rory's fairly new car: A newer version of a Toyota prius, grey this time around. They arrived at the Gilmore's house at 6 o' clock but, didn't end up ringing the doorbell until 6:07 exactly.
Greeted by the maid of the week, they were sent into the living room to find both Emily and Richard.
~~Later that night~~
Lora was still so curious to find out who this mystery writer was so, she searched up 'Dodger Danes' on Google. She found that it was published in Philadelphia but, only sold in two places, other than online. One place was at a place called 'Truncheon Books' is Philadelphia and A STORE IN HARTFORD?! She wrote down the phone number and address and decided she would investigate more on Monday.
She then said goodnight to her mom, and went to bed.
