Chapter 3: My House, My Rules

Luke had been reluctant to let Christopher off the porch after answering the door. But this was for Rory, who was so forgiving that she was allowing her biological dad access to his grandchild the way Lorelai had done for Rory decades before.

"Christopher: my house, my rules," Luke reminded his former rival of the terms for the visitation rights.

Christopher nodded. "You got it, boss." It was a more mellow response than what Luke had expected from the former hothead, but Rory had told him that her biological father had finally grounded himself in life.

Still, Luke crossed past him to kiss Rory's temple, then the baby. "See you late tonight, princess." And he left to join Marty for their late shift at the Diner.
