Author's Note: I've been to London on vacation more than once, but I do not live there, so if any of my information is not right I apologize. But I highly recommend anyone going there, because … it's London! Sorry this is so short, but I promise, next part will be longer. Thanks for all of the reviews guys, you are amazing!

The minute that Luke walked off the plane, he wanted to kiss the ground underneath his feet. The flight was so incredibly long and the entire time he was trying to figure out how he could convince Lorelai that they belonged together. That he made the greatest mistake when he didn't chase after her, and now he finally had the balls to go after what he wanted. He didn't want some dramatic scene, but he had to try. Luke was emotionally exhausted and physically exhausted and all he wanted to do was sleep. If life had been easier, he wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles to come and get Lorelai, but there has to be a reason why this was happening right? He called April on his cell phone, ignoring the possibility that the call must have cost him a fortune, and probably the same amount as his flight. He didn't have the mind to attempt to figure out the pay phones.

Customs and immigration took forever, and Luke had never seen so many people in his entire life. He wasn't a country bumpkin and he been in New York and he was no stranger to crowds, but the amount of people together in one room, and who were so diverse surprised him. He finally managed to be near the exit when he realized he didn't have a place to stay. He didn't know how to get to Lorelai, and he had no British money. First he was to a kiosk to change some American into British pounds, and he found himself scowling at the weird colorful money. The change completely confused him, but Lorelai was worth it. Even if she had told him no, it would still be worth it. Isn't that what the voice on that self help tape had said? Life is about taking chances.

At least if things didn't work out was that he had tried. One of his father's last lessons before he died was that once Luke had found something that he desperately wanted, and more than that needed, to do as much as he could possibly do to get it. Luke could not think of anything other than Lorelai and getting back what they had at that particular moment, and maybe this was what his father was talking about. So if he did fail, it was not because he didn't go out and take a risk, but because Lorelai didn't feel the same way. Luke chose not to think about that possibility.

He stared at the bustling garage with cabs and tried to flag one down. He didn't know where he was going, and by the time he caught one, he just figured he would ask the cabbie a place that he could stay that was close by. The ride was long and even though it was mid morning, the ride was lulling him to sleep.

'We're here.' Luke steps out of the cab and thanks the driver for the suggestion and gives him as generous tip as he can with his limited change. The Hotel was in Soho area of London; close by to where Lorelai's work was, and the address that Rory had given him. He was staying at a Marriot, and he was just grateful he could get a room, and nice comfy bed, to sleep for just a minute. Lorelai would be at work again, and after seeing evidence of an old boyfriend coming to where she works, it isn't something she likes or appreciates.

The concierge explained how to get to Tottenham Street from where he was, and also told him about a nice romantic restaurant around where Lorelai's flat was. He had the concierge explain to him twice that flat was an apartment, and not some dive. Luke went to his room and looked around, it was the average hotel room, but as long as he could sleep than it didn't matter.

Siren woke him up later on and he noticed that the room was much darker now and when he looked at the alarm clock it had been five hours. Luke had no idea what was going on, his body clock was totally out of whack, and he didn't know if that was nerves on what he was about to do. He got in the shower and tried to not think about what he was about to do.

The walk went by pretty quickly, but the streets winded in a way that he had never seen before. He felt like the country bumpkin and he had almost been run over more than once and by the time he had gotten to Lorelai's building, his face was frozen. London was freezing and the wind was unrelentless. But Lorelai was worth it.

The building was a little off the main street and he spotted three coffee shops all close by and Luke knew he was going in the right direction. This was Lorelai; of course she would live nearby to coffee. He stepped inside the building and a older man sat behind the desk.

'May I help you?' the man said automatically and for the first time, Luke wondered if she was using Gilmore, or perhaps she kept Christopher's name. And even thinking of him made Luke's blood boil.

'Yes, is there a Lorelai Gilmore staying here?' Luke asked and the old man smiled. Lorelai had the talent of charming anyone, and seeing that smile made Luke know that he had the right place.

'Miss Gilmore does in fact reside her, shall I ring her up?' Luke nodded, not completely understanding the use of the term. He looks around the lobby and it is full of charm with sketches of various historical buildings he assumed were around London. He recognized Buckingham castle and the tower of London, and by the time he had looked around a bit the man had waved at him to get his attention.

'Miss Gilmore wants to know your name' and Luke is rather stumped on if he should give a fake name or not, and figures that it would probably blow up in his face. 'Luke Danes.' He says and when the man parrots it to Lorelai over the phone, the man laughs and hangs up. 'Floor five, 22.'

The Elevator ride was slow and by the time that the doors open he is shaking. This is ridiculous, no matter what happens it doesn't change the fact that for the first time in his life, he had actively and without a doubt gone after what he wanted. Flowers were one thing, but to travel and go to a completely new place was something Luke could honestly say he had never done before.

He sighed and knocked on the door and before he could even catch his breath, the door opened and there was Lorelai. She had changed in ways that Luke couldn't figure out at first but she just quirked a smile.

'Hi Luke.' She said and led him in, and Luke had no idea what was going to happen next. "Hi Lorelai." He said and they stood silent.

"The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love"
