Lorelai walked into the Inn's kitchen with a small smile playing on her face. "good morning, Sookie!" she called.
Sookie looked up from the pot she was stirring. "why, aren't you in a good mood this morning?"
Lorelai grinned and nodded. "yep. I just… everything's going back to how it was."
"you mean with Luke?" asked Sookie, a knowing glint in her eye.
Lorelai shrugged. "well, that's part of it. But Gypsy will have my car ready in a couple of days. And I've finally got all the Christopher and Georgia things out of my house. And I love it. Its' so… me, again. I told Christopher he wasn't leaving until he put my old TV back in, and he cracked the shits, so now I have a flat screen TV. Oh, don't tell Jackson, though, because he'll be over in a flash and I won't get to watch my TV."
Sookie nodded and hugged her friend. "I'm so glad that everything is looking better. So, tell me about you and Luke!"
Lorelai gave her a long look, trying to hide the smile that was threatening to take over her face. "well, he came around to my place last night. Totally unexpected, I might add. He had coffee and brownies and he listened to me talk about… everything. In fact, he encouraged it. He wanted me to talk to him about Chris. Why would he want me to talk to him about Chris?" asked Lorelai, her smile falling and a frown taking its place.
Sookie shrugged. "Maybe he's just trying to show you that regardless of what you two have been through, he wants to be your friend."
Lorelai looked at her. "you seem to know a lot about this." She said.
Sookie shrugged. "he may have come by the house and spoken to me about it. He may have said some other stuff. But, you know, I can't seem to remember." She smirked.
Lorelai shook her head. "Fine. Whatever. I have stuff to do. I'll see you later."
Sookie nodded. "Maybe you should go to the diner for lunch!" she called after her.
Lorelai waved and shook her head. Sookie was obviously trying to get them back together. But, the more she thought about it, the more the idea grew on her. she knew she still loved him, and that he was 'the one'. The only thing that worried her, was that maybe, after everything that had happened, she wasn't his 'one' anymore.

"Rory?"
"Hey, mom. What's the matter?"
Lorelai chuckled. "nothing's the matter. What are your feelings on stopping by Luke's after dinner tonight?"
Rory smirked. "Luke's?"
Lorelai sighed. "Yes, Luke's. you know. Luke, the giver of the best coffee ever, Luke."
"Luke, the love of your life, Luke?"
"Rory." Lorelai warned.
"oh, come on mom, its true. You love him, and you always have. Is it okay if Logan comes, too? Grandma invited him for dinner 'cause he's back in New York until Thursday."
"sure, sweets, I don't see why not. Do you want me to ask Luke?"
"do you need an excuse to call him?"
"Rory." Lorelai warned again.
Rory laughed. "sure, let me know soon, okay? Otherwise we'll just go back to the house. Cant have you missing out on some precious 'Luke time'!"
"Rory!" Lorelai yelled into the phone, but she knew her daughter had a point.
"I gotta go, mom. I'll see you at dinner tonight. Love you!"
"Alright. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Love you, too."
The two Gilmore Girls hung up their phones, both with small smile on their faces. Rory, because she had just spotted Logan, and Lorelai because she knew she couldn't hide anything from her daughter. She was just too damn smart.
She looked at the clock on the wall behind her. it was quarter to twelve. She had only left the diner about two and a half hours ago, but she had to eat lunch. She was hungry. "you're always hungry". Said the voice in her head that was a surprising mix of Luke and Chris. Luke's amusement came across, but Chris's condescending tone could be heard. He made her feel stupid without even being there.
Narrowing her eyes, she decided that, even though Chris was still in her head, she would ignore him there as well. She was hungry, and she wanted another coffee, and she knew the best place to get it. Luke's.
