Hola mi amigos/amigas! How are you? Would you like a third chapter of this story in one night? Because I have a crazy cough and school tomorrow so, nevermind that its 1:45 in the morning, right? I'll post this tomorrow afternoon, anyway. Well… I hope you like this story!
Chapter 3:
Sunday rolled around and it was time to see her dad. She hadn't seen her dad in 6 months since he was always in California working. He comes to the east coast every once in a while but, not often enough for her taste. She loved her dad but, it always seemed like he barely cared for her. Not as much as her mom. Lora knew her mom loved her with all her heart.
She kind of looked like her dad. Not as much as her mom's side, of course. She had brown hair, mildly tan skin, and a mixture of brown and blue eyes. The mixture came from her mom AND dad, of course.
Their lunch would be held at the AMAZING Dragonfly Inn. And, it was the perfect day for it, too. The sun was shining at it was that perfect time of year with Thanksgiving almost 2 weeks away. The leaves were changing color in all different ways and it was only slightly chilly.
Lora was in her maroon knitted sweater and hat with a pair of blue jeans and nice boots. Her mom was wearing similar but, in a cream color instead.
When they walked into the dragonfly, they were ambushed by a smell of pumpkin pie, coffee, and books. Their favorite smells all rolled into one. They knew Logan wasn't there yet since they were half an hour early then expected but, Lora wanted to read in the inn's library for a little while.
"Lora, sweetie, go on in to the library. I'm going to go in the kitchen to say hi to mom and Sookie." Rory said, smiling.
"Okay, mom. Get me some coffee?" Rory nodded and chuckled and Lora ran into the library.
Rory walked into the kitchen of the inn and zombie-like said "Coffeeee." Sookie was startled by the sudden entrance but giggled when realization struck her.
"Hey, hun. How you doin'?" Sookie asked as Rory filled a mug with coffee.
"I could be better. Logan comes in" Rory checked her watch, "20 minutes."
"Yeah, your mom told me." Sookie sighed. "Its okay, you'll be fine. Its only an hour and a half and your home free!"
"Thanks, Sookie. Is my mom here?" She questioned.
"Her office." She smiled and turned around to get back to cooking lunch for the rest of the inn's customers.
Rory went to look for her mom and knocked on her office door.
"Come in!" She yelled through the door.
"Hey mom. Logan is gonna be here soon so, I just wanted to stop in and say hi." Rory said, walking into the room with her coffee mug close to her chest.
"Okay, sweets. You ready to see Logan? You haven't seen him since last spring break, right?"
"Yeah. Its amazing how he barely cares about Lora. I can tell Lora can sense it, too. Lets just see how it all rolls out." Rory sighed. "Well I'm gonna go find her so we can find a table in that packed dining room of yours."
"Sure thing, hun. Let me know when he leaves. If you don't mind, I would like a cup of coffee with the other two Lorelais that live." They both smiled at each other.
"Kay, love you." And with that, Rory was in the kitchen to get a refill and a second cup of coffee for her daughter.
She walked into the library and handed Lora's mug to her. They then found a table and sat down, waiting for Logan to come.
~~20 minutes later than expected~~
"Hey. Sorry I'm late." Logan ran into the dining room.
"Oh, no problem. We were just talking about Lora's new book she's reading."
"Hi dad." Lora said, kind of shy. She hadn't talked to her dad in a couple of weeks. And even then, he had to hang up quickly to even get in a 'hi' 'how are you?' and 'bye.' In there. It never was much with her dad.
And it didn't really help that he didn't care about her at all. He just felt obliged to speak with her. After all, she was his own blood.
The lunch went along smoothly but, the whole time Lora wasn't focused on her so-called father. She was focused on what she would be doing after school tomorrow. She had already told her mom that she had a Jr. Franklin meeting after school tomorrow and would be home late. She was going to finally find out who Dodger Danes was and why he was such a big part in her family's life.
She said goodbye to her dad, while Rory would talk to him a little and went to her grandmother's office.
