I still don't own Gilmore Girls

Chapter 7 Half Clear

Logan woke up late the next morning to the sound of his blackberry buzzing, reminding him of a meeting he was scheduled for in an hour. Realizing he was late to be at the office he scrambled to get ready in time. He barely had time for a cup of coffee to aide his obnoxious headache before his driver was there, He spent the entire ride to the office pouring over his notes for the meeting. He knew that this was his first real day on the job and he had a meeting with all of the editors in chief for the daily circulation papers that HGP owned. He could not look like a college kid who cared about nothing except partying, that wasn't him anymore.

His morning papers meanwhile lay untouched on the island in his kitchen.

…………………..

"Mr. Huntzberger, Good Morning. I made you a cup of coffee and there is a bagel waiting for you in your office. Also everything you will need for the meeting is in this folder. Is there anything else you'll need from me?" Ruth greeted him getting right down to business.

"Yes can you get me the number of a florist please?"

"Certainly Mr. Huntzberger, I'll have that as soon as you get out of your meeting, unless you would like me to order something for you?" Ruth asked with a questioning look.

"No its personal, and Ruth, will you please stop calling me Mr. Huntzberger. I know I'm getting old but that makes me feel ancient," Logan sad as he entered his office.

Logan knew that he had been cruel to Rory yesterday. He didn't know what the future held for them but he did know that he couldn't leave it on such a sour note. He wanted a chance to talk things out to really understand each other's actions. They deserved that.

………….

As Logan entered the conference room to begin the meeting there was a general buzz going on. When everyone realized who had just walked in the room there was sudden hush that fell. Logan suddenly felt like he had missed something.

"So, how are we all this morning?" Logan asked generally.

There was a collective nod and some hushed words until finally one of the younger female editors spoke up, "So did you read it?"

Her voice was so eager it somehow annoyed Logan from the start, "I'm not sure," he said curtly, "what, pray tell, is it?"

A more seasoned editor spoke up, "What Ms. James' is referring to is the interview or rather mini biography that a certain Ms. Rory Gilmore did on you for today's San Fran Chronicle. It's the talk of the industry today. One of the most well crafted pieces I've read in a long time. Already in the top five most read articles of the day across all our sites, barely beaten out by the latest Britney drama."

"I see, well Ms. Gilmore is a very talented writer, I will have to read it when I get the chance." Logan responded awkwardly. "Moving on, lets get down to business. First I want to here from all of you. Tell me one thing that is going well for your paper, and one thing that needs improvement. In particular I want to hear about things that we as corporate can help with. Then I will get down to the specifics of what I see. Also please be aware that within the next few weeks I plan to get to each of you papers just to take a look at how things are being run. Fear not I will not be stepping in and making broad scale changes for now I want to get a sense for things, then we will come up with a different plan at every paper. Now Ms. James' why don't you start us off."

As he listened to Ms. James' talk about the Sausalito Morning Post he began to take notes. It was going to be a long meeting, but still being slightly annoyed at her Logan was happy to get a little revenge on the oh-so-chipper Ms. James.

………….

Rory found it very difficult to focus they next day at work. Between the constant stream of people congratulating her on her first article being so successful and her own brain freaking out she was glad that her second assignment was a little more relaxing. She was to review a ballet; she wasn't scheduled to see the performance until the following evening so she spent her day trying to research it.

Research was proving difficult; all she could think about was Logan. She wondered if he had even bothered to read the article. If he had, why hadn't he responded in someway? Did he really hate her that much? Finally she had enough, she had to get coffee and clear her head.

As she walked to the coffee shop nearest her office she grabbed her phone out of her purse and dialed the Dragonfly Inn.

"Neal Patrick Harris's Fan Club, you can brand us all you want, this is Lorelei speaking, how can I help you?"

"Mom what if I was a customer?"

"Caller ID Sweets."

"So I know you read it, what did you think?"

"It was really good Ror. I think that it will give people a taste of the real Logan, the one that took me a long time to find. So if the article was that good I must know the juicy details of the interview."

"Well, I asked some general questions. He was so cold that I just tried to be professional. Then I made the mistake of asking something personal and we got into a fight. I basically wrote the whole thing without the interview."

"Oh sweets. I'm sorry, is that why the whole thing has a sort of heartbroken apologetic undertone?"

"You noticed?"

"Oh yea."

"Do you think that he will notice?"

"Can he read?"

"Then why hasn't he called or emailed or sent pigeons or pony express or faxed or something," Rory whined.

"I don't know, but Rory just give him some time. These last two days have been rough on both of you I'm sure. He probably just needs some time to process."

"I know, Thanks Mom. I love you."

"Love you too kid. Bye"

…………………..

Logan had been so busy all day that he hadn't gotten a chance to read the article or send the flowers like he had planned, finally late that evening he collapsed into his overstuffed armchair with a cup of coffee and the much buzzed about article.

As he read the article he saw her intention behind every word. She has poured her heart and soul onto the paper. She has cleared the air on her end. Eloquently begging his forgiveness while showing most readers that he was more than meets the eye, and how lucky the company was to have committed to such an upstanding CEO. It really was amazing how she could craft the words and bend them to her will.

She had her say, now it was his turn.
