(Rory's point of view)

The next day I interviewed Shira and Honor for the article. Shira also invited Mitchum's childhood best friend Jim over and he agreed to be interviewed too. Honor went first. She had a lot more happy memories than Logan. She told me lots of stories from when she was little. Honor and I finished up quickly.

Jim went next it was really funny to hear about Mitchum as a boy. Some of the stories of his teen years sounded so much like Logan. I laughed a lot. I knew this story will be one of my best. After I finished Jim's interview I checked in on Austin while I waited for Shira.

Shira's interview was in some ways the easiest and hardest in others. She told me about her and Mitchum meeting. They met at Shira's first cotillion Mitchum's best friend Jim was actually Shira's escort. They started dating shortly there after. Seven years later they were married. Shira also told me stories of her early marriage. She revealed details of the days her children were born. We both ended up crying. And we even hugged.

Shira invited me to stay. I got to play with Austin, Cathy, and P.J. I hadn't seen Logan at all. He was in his Father's office working. Honor kept saying I could interupt him but I knew he was busy.

Around dinner time Logan finally came out of the office. He looked exhausted both mentally and physically. "Are you okay Logan?" I asked. He smiled and little and answered. "Yeah Ace I'm okay." I nodded. "Could you meet with me before the service tomorrow?" Logan asked. "Yeah sure. Where do you want to meet?" I asked. "Um here if it's okay." He answered. "Sounds good." I said. He walked me to my car. "Be careful Ace." Logan said kissing my cheek. "I will night." I said.

[The Next Day]

I worked onto the night and finished the article. My boss was impressed. He said the article along with photos from the memorial. I was shocked that Shira had given permission for photos.

I quickly got ready. I bought a new black dress just for today. Luke had already made breakfast. He told me to eat up. He and Mom weren't ready yet but Luke said they would meet me at the church. I knew this was going to be a difficult day for Logan.

When I arrived at the mansion a guard helped escort me in. "This way Miss Gilmore." The guard said leading me. I was really nervous to see Logan. I had sent him a copy of the article. Plus I wanted to be here for him today especially. The guard kept guiding me until we ended up near the maid. The maid then led me to the office.

"Mr. Huntzberger is waiting for you." The maid said. I looked at her as she waited for me to open the door. I slowly opened the door. Logan was staring at pictures. He was wearing a black suit and black and navy tie. He turned and looked at me and said. "You always did look good in black Ace." "You too." I responded.

"Did you read the article?" I asked nervously. "Yes I did it's you're best to date." Logan said. I blushed and said. "High praise Mr. Huntzberger." He chuckled. I saw him frown a little and asked. "Are you heading back to New York after the service?" "No Actually I'm taking a vacation week." I answered. Logan smiled and asked. "Would you go out with me Saturday night?" I nodded.

"Not to be too personal Ace but when is your period due?" Logan asked reminding me that I could be pregnant. "In two weeks." I answered. He nodded. We both stood silently. The maid came and told us it was time to leave. Logan suggested we drive together to the service. It was just Logan and I in the car. The rest of the family had already left.

I had planned to sit with Mom, Luke, and my Grandparents but Shira asked me to sit with them. I felt a little strange but was happy I could be there for them especially Logan. The service was long. Logan handed Austin to me at one point. Logan held me hand. I could feel him shaking. Jim gave the eulogy.

After the service everyone greeted the Huntzbergers. My Grandparents came up and we're talking with Shira. Mom and Luke came over to Logan, Austin, and I. Mom was tired so they were skipping the reception. The reception was strange. Shira kept getting Logan and taking him to meet more associates. I stayed with Colin, Steph, Finn, and the rest of the gang. They all made over Austin. Logan rejoined us after a while.

"Come on guys let's get out of here?" Logan said grabbing Austin. "Pool house mate?" Finn asked. "Yelp let's go before my Mom finds us." Logan answered. Later in the day I left to go home. Logan once again gave me a kiss on the cheek and said he would contact me tomorrow.

Friday night dinner was the same as always. Mom kept making jokes and pissing off Grandma. Luke felt uncomfortable. Grandpa and I talked about books. Grandma filled us in on the latest gossip. She tried to talk to me about Logan but I just ignored her. The night quickly ended.

When I got home April was there. She had just arrived for the weekend. We hung out for a little while. She asked about the service and Logan. Then I asked her about school and boys. She liked this boy who sounded just like Jess. I told her that he sounded like her cousin in his teen years. She was hoping that maybe seen Jess turned out so well maybe Luke would like the guy. I told her not to count on it. I was almost asleep when Logan texted me. Missing you and can't wait for our date tomorrow night. I couldn't help smiling. Miss you too I can't wait either. I texted him back. Sleep well Ace. He texted me. You too talk to you tomorrow. I texted back to him before falling into a blissful sleep.
