After Christopher leaves, she sits on her bed thinking about what happened the last few months. Luke found out about April, she found out about April, June 3rd was no more, she slept with Chris, wrote the letter and now she's back where she started. With Luke. Did she really want to get her hopes up again?
She picks up the phone and dials a number.
"Hello?"
"Can I really do this again?" she asks.
"Mom?"
She replies sarcastically, "No, Martha Stewart."
"Well, I need more information," Rory brushes off the sarcastic reply.
"Can I get with Luke again, just to get my hopes up?"
"Do you love him?"
"With every fiber of my being."
Rory smiles, she already knew that, "Mom, would you do anything to be with him?"
"I would risk anything to be with Luke."
"Then take the risk. If you don't take the risk for love, then why love at all?"
"I can't lose him again. Lets face it. I'm not me with out Luke."
"He completes you," Rory states.
"As corny as that sounds, yes, he does."
She makes her way to the diner, determined to tell Luke exactly how she feels. No secrets, and damn it, she means it this time!
The bells jungle and she saunters over to the counter, waiting for her other half to emerge from the kitchen.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" he asks as he comes out.
"I came for the love," she says, somewhat sarcastically.
He walks around the counter, stands between her legs and kisses her sweetly on the lips and says, "You know that I love you."
She smiles and says, "I know." she kisses him again, happy to be kissing him, and no one else. "Luke, we have to talk. Can we go upstairs?"
"Sure. Caesar, I'll be back!"
They make their way upstairs and sit on the couch.
"Luke, this is it. We have to make us work this time. I can't lose you again. I've lost you twice, that is two times too many. You are my everything. You complete me. We have to really have no secrets. If another long lost daughter shows up, tell me, not Liz. Ok?"
"Lorelai, this is going to work. I promise." he stands and walks over to the safe, opens it and pulls something out. "Here," he says, handing it the object to her.
She takes it. Her engagement ring on a silver chain. "Luke?"
"Wear it around your neck, then when you're ready, put it back on your finger where it belongs."
