"So where to?" Rory asked as she noticed they were heading back home.
Lorelai brooded over multiple ideas. She was beaming. She had an idea she was sure they were both going to love. "Shopping! The Hartford Mall Catalog showed some pretty enticing sales."
"The mall it is," Rory agreed. 'Maybe...since I will be in Hartford...see if Tristan's home,' Rory silently pondered. 'No it'll never happen. We can hang out as friends, just friend.'
"Earth to Rory," Lorelai called waving her hand in front of her daughter's face.
"Huh? What?" she asked being shaken back to reality.
Lorelai ignored her daughter's daydream and re-asked her question. "What about Lane?"
"Nope, Mrs. Kim recruited her as a store employee until she's sent off to Korea," Rory explained.
"Bummer," Lorelai pouted. "Oh well. I guess we'll have to do a mother/daughter day then," she teased Rory.
"Yeah, yeah," Rory replied.
They rounded the corner to be back at their house to get into the car when Rory noticed some one. It was Tristan standing there leaning on his parked sports car.
'Oh my God! What's he doing here?' she asked herself.
"Oh, look who's back!" Lorelai whispered to her daughter.
Rory looked at her. "Why do you think he's here?"
"Do I have to spell everything out for you? I do. In that case here you go. Follow along now. R-O-R-Y. He's here for you, babe." Lorelai put it bluntly and sheathed in sarcasm.
"No. He probably just forgot something or...something," Rory made up an excuse thinking her and Tristan would never be possible. Tristan started walking towards them. And Rory practically froze on the spot.
"Hey Rory, Lorelai," Tristan greeted them once he was close enough.
"Hi ya," Lorelai waved.
Rory replied, "Hey."
"Sorry to show up like this but I tried to call you and no one was home so I figured I'd stop by the town and find you...maybe see if you wanted to hang out."
"We were just getting ready to head to the Hartford Mall, unless we just wanna hang around here," Rory suggested. She wanted him to say yes. The longing to hang out with him again ached inside her heart while she waited for an answer.
"Well if you guys want to go to the mall, hop on in," Tristan said opening the passenger side door. "That is if it's ok if I join you."
"Well let's go!" Lorelai squealed. "I want coffee when we get there."
Tristan looked at her. "Isn't that coffee in your hands?"
"Yes but it takes 30 minutes to get to Hartford," Lorelai smiled.
"You two are too much," he laughed.
