Lorelai woke up in the middle of the night. Did she smell it? Yes! She was sure of it now! She leaped out of her bed, and without disturbing Chris, opened the door to their room and hurried downstairs. She slipped her feet in the nearest shoes she could find, which happened to be a pair of old sneakers, and hurried outside. She stood on the street and looked up at the sky. It was snowing, the first snow of the season.
Winter was Lorelai's favorite season, she loved everything about it. Everything always seemed pure and right. She opened her mouth to taste the first snow, the fresh snow, the new snow.
"I knew I'd find you out here." Lorelai turned around to see Luke behind her. She was speechless.
"I heard it, I heard it and I knew it. I knew it was the first snow and I knew you'd be out here in it. Like you always are. Coatless. At least you remembered your shoes this time."
Lorelai now began to feel the winter's cold. Her guilt rose, but she was unable to open her mouth
"Look, Lorelai, we need to talk. Remember, at the diner today. I didn't really tell you the truth to why I'm moving. It's April. She and her mom will be leaving to live in New Mexico this weekend. I missed out on the first twelve years of April's life, and I'm not planning on missing out on the next twelve either. So I decided to move down there with them. Well not with them. I bought an apartment a few miles away, and she'll rotate from my house to her mother's. Lorelai, it's for the best. I just wanted to make sure we were all right before I left. You're my friend and I didn't want to forget you. Ever. And what you said at the diner today. Don't worry about it, I know you say things you don't really mean under pressure. I know you too well to take it too seriously. And Lorelai, you're married now. Chris is a pretty good guy. Your marriage was sudden, but the town will get used to it. Eventually. And I know they all expected us… but sometimes things don't always go as planned."
"Wow" Lorelai suddenly felt the urge to speak. "You pretty much make what I was going to say look like crap now. I mean, when did you become so understanding?! I was feeling very bad about all this, and then it snows and you're here in the middle of the night and tell me everything is going to be alright. I 'm so sorry I exploded on you at the diner. I didn't know."
"It's ok, Lor, I just wanted to keep our friendship."
"It's kept" Then Lorelai leaned forward and hugged him, as a friend. It made her feel safe, a feeling she should feel with Chris.
"What the hell are you doing with my wife?"
They both turned to the doorway of Lorelai's house to see Chris furiously standing in the doorway.
" I'll give you five second's to get your hands off her or I'm going out there and fighting you myself!"
