Chapter 4

It was Sunday and Hannah was working in the diner that day. She looked up when she heard the bells ring and was surprised to see her Grandpa come in and stand by the door awkwardly. He spotted her and walked up to the counter.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" She asked.

"I came to see you actually." He said.

"You did?" She asked surprised.

"I overheard what you said to your grandmother after the party at our house and I feel ashamed that you would ever think we would love Rory more than you." He said sincerely. "I just wanted you to know that. And I was wondering if maybe we could spend the day together?"

"Um thanks." She said. "I'm working all day today though." She said apologetically.

"No you're not." Luke said coming up.

"What?" Hannah said confused.

"I've got it covered. Go spend the day with your Grandpa." He smiled, seeing how much it had meant to Hannah when he said what he had said.

"Really?" Hannah asked.

"Really." He smiled.

"Thanks Luke!" She smiled. "I'll make it up to you."

"No need." He shook his head.

"I want to." Hannah said. "And I will."

"You're too like your mother, you know that." Luke said.

"Thanks!" Hannah grinned. "See you later!"

"See ya. Have fun." He smiled.


"So that's the diner you work in?" Richard questioned when they left.

"Yeh. We've been going there since Rory and I were like 12. Mom found it and the rest was history." Hannah smiled. "We've been going there daily ever since."

"You go every day?" He asked surprised.

"Yep. Mom's addicted to the coffee." Hannah grinned. "The food's amazing too though."

"Isn't it expensive to go every day?" He asked.

"Luke rarely lets us pay. When we were younger, Luke knew mom was making a lot of money so he always made sure we all had at least one good meal." Hannah said. "He would even give us pie when Rory and I were doing homework there while waiting for mom to finish at the inn."

"That's nice of him." Richard said.

"That's Luke." Hannah shrugged. "He looks out for us. Kind of nice really. I think that's probably why I wanted to work there. He took an interest in me and Rory as well as mom. He would talk to us like adults. I started helping out when I turned 13 and then he let me start working when I turned 15. It's a fun job."

Richard had to smile at her enthusiasm. "Well that's good then." He said. "Rory mentioned you like reading as well?" He said.

Hannah nodded.

"You should come and check out some of the books in my study. You might like them." He said.

Hannah smiled. "Thanks. I might do that."

As they walked across the town, Richard noticed how nearly everyone smiled and said hello to Hannah and how she smiled back and said hello back to them easily. He was starting to see what sort of life his daughter had made here.

"So what do you want to do?" Hannah asked. "There's not too much to do as it's quite small. We could also go back to the house. Rory should be home."

"That sounds nice." He smiled.

Hannah took him back to the house and walked inside.

"You don't lock your door?" Richard asked surprised.

"Nothing ever happens here. It's fine." Hannah said. "Rory? You here?" She called.

Rory appeared from her room. "Hey!" She smiled. "Aren't you supposed to be at Luke's? Oh hi Grandpa!" She said surprised, seeing him behind Hannah.

"Hello Rory." He smiled warmly. "I came to see Hannah. I hope we're not interrupting your studying."

Rory saw how happy Hannah was and smiled. "Not at all. I was just reading some notes. Has Hannah shown you around?"

"Showed him all the sights. Even passed Kirk roller blading." Hannah laughed.

Rory grinned. "I don't know why his mother lets him out in those. He's a danger to himself and others!"

Hannah grinned. "I thought Luke was going to kill him when he attempted to come inside the diner still wearing them."

Rory laughed. "Aw I wished I'd seen that."


After a nice afternoon spent with Richard, Hannah headed back to the diner to finish her shift since there was still time left before closing. She was crossing the square when she spotted a familiar figure in the gazebo. "Tristan?" She said surprised.

"Hey." He said coming down the stairs.

"God today is a day for unexpected visitors!" Hannah joked.

"Sorry." He smirked. "I had to get out of my house and I didn't really know where to go."

"So you ended up in Stars Hollow where nothing ever happens?" Hannah grinned.

"Yeh well, I knew you lived here so..." He shrugged.

Hannah glanced towards the diner knowing she should go and help Luke with the dinner rush. "Look, I'm sorry, I'm not brushing you off but I need to go work. I've already had most of the day off because my Grandpa showed up unexpectedly and I want to make it up." She said.

"It's fine. You go. I'll wait." He said.

"I might be a few hours." Hannah said.

"That's cool. I'll just sit here a people watch." He smirked.

"And people think I'm crazy." Hannah joked. "You know you really don't have to wait. Unless you needed something?"

"I do need to tell you something but it can wait til after." He said.

"Can't you just tell me now?"

"Nope." He smirked.

Hannah rolled her eyes. "Fine. I'll see you later."


After her shift at the diner, she assured Luke she would be ok walking home. It took some persuading but he finally agreed to let her. She then walked back to the gazebo where Tristan was still waiting.

"Ok what was so important that you had to stay?" Hannah joked.

"This." Tristan said coming down the stairs and then kissing her.

"Uh...um...ok..." Hannah said taken by surprise. "Wow..."

"Worth the wait?" He smirked.

Hannah stood there not really knowing what to say. "Um..I...Tristan..."

"Look, I know you heard things about me at school and I know you got upset with me but the reason I haven't ever had a proper girlfriend is because I haven't met anyone I genuinely want to spend more than a day with." He admitted. "Until I met you. You're different than all the other girls. You're funny, smart, kind. You call me out on my crap. I like that."

Hannah blushed slightly.

"I like you." He admitted. "And I think you like me too. I think this could work, you and me. What do you say?"

Hannah smiled at him. She leaned forward and kissed him again. She pulled back after a moment. "That answer your question?" She joked.

Tristan smirked. "Perfectly." He said. "Walk you home?" He asked.

Hannah smiled. "Yeh that'd be nice."

Tristan smiled and put his arm round her and they walked off to the house. What they didn't realise was that Luke was watching them from the window of the diner, totally surprised by what he had seen.
