Logan and Rory had left London via train over four hours ago and were nearing Paris. Their train had a one hour stand-by in Paris before it continued on to Salzburg. One hour wasn't enough time to see any sights but the couple planned to disembark from the train anyway. Logan knew of a small café that served great coffee just outside the train station. Their plan was to have a cup of coffee while enjoying the view, before continuing on. Logan left Rory at an outside table and went to purchase their coffee; Rory pulled out her cell phone. Local time was about 11 pm; Rory calculated that in Stars Hollow it was only 5 pm and therefore safe to try and call her mom.

Rory listened to her Mom's phone ringing and finally heard, "Rory! How's London?"

"Hey, Mom. London was good," Rory replied.

"Was? Where are you now?" Lorelai asked.

"We're having coffee in Paris and then we're off to Salzburg," Rory boasted.

"You stopped in Paris just to have coffee? Color me jealous," Lorelai pouted.

"We decided to include Salzburg and Venice on our trip. We left London via train four hours ago. The train has a one-hour stop in Paris and so we decided to have coffee while we are here," Rory explained.

"Still jealous," Lorelai whined.

"Anyway," Rory said, "I'm calling to tell you that Logan and I have set a wedding date."

"Aw, Hon, that's great! When's the big day?" Lorelai asked.

"September 29th," Rory announced excitedly.

"Of next year, I'm assuming?" Lorelai asked.

"No, of this year," Rory said.

"Do you realize that is only two months from now?" Lorelai asked.

"Yes," Rory responded, "I know it's soon. That is why I am enlisting you as my wedding planner extraordinaire; if you are up for the challenge,"

"Wow," Lorelai breathed; for once in her life speechless.

"I know," Rory said, "If it's okay with you, we'd like to hold the wedding and reception at the Dragonfly."

"I would love that," Lorelai said.

"Are you okay Mom?" Rory asked, slightly concerned over how subdued her Mom was being.

"Yeah, I just can't believe that my baby is getting married in two months!" Lorelai said.

"Are you sure?" Rory asked, "I'm probably being insensitive again. Getting engaged and married so quickly after your break-up with Luke. I'm so sorry; I didn't mean for things to work out this way."

"I'm not even thinking about that," Lorelai said, "I'm just stunned that it's all happening so fast."

"Just be glad that Logan hasn't talked me into eloping… the whole mess with his parents has him seriously considering it," Rory said.

"I'm sorry about that. I know that my Dad called Mitchum and informed them that you are a Hayden as well and magically you were acceptable; apparently," Lorelai said, "So, are you and Logan back in the family yet?"

"Not quite. When Grandma and Mitchum called with the news we informed them that we had some conditions to our return to the family," Rory said.

"Very sly; what are the conditions?" Lorelai asked.

"We're still working them out but I'll give you the highlights," Rory said, "One, Logan and I plan to live somewhere between Hartford and New York; so Logan's job needs to be located in either Hartford or New York. Logan can go on assignment to other locations but not for more than one week at a time. Two, we would like to plan our own wedding and it is to be small and personal. We don't want the majority of our guests to be people who are in business with Grandpa or Mitchum. Three, in the event that they decide to buy us a house as a wedding gift; we'd prefer that they didn't. And if they still feel that they must; we insist on being involved in the process and have the final say."

"You guys have come up with some good ones," Lorelai said.

"And we're not through yet," Rory said.

"Rory, I would love to help you plan your wedding and coordinate things," Lorelai said.

"Thanks Mom," Rory said, "Will you ask Sookie to cater for us?"

"She'll be thrilled," Lorelai replied.

"Good," Rory said, "Listen Mom, I should go. We only have a little bit longer before we have to head back to the train."

"Enjoy the rest of your trip; incase I don't get to talk to you again," Lorelai said.

"Thanks Mom," Rory said, "Love you!"

"Love you too, kid," Lorelai replied, "Bye."

"Bye, Mom!" Rory said.

Rory pressed end on her phone and set it on the table in front of her. She took a long drink of the coffee Logan had set down in front of her 10 minutes ago.

"Good conversation with your Mom?" Logan asked even though he had been privy to the majority of it.

"Yeah, she is excited for us," Rory said, "I think she is a little shocked that we are getting married so soon but I think she understands. She is going to help me plan and we can use the Dragonfly for both the ceremony and the reception."

"Sounds like you're going to have a lot to work on when we get back home," Logan said.

"Yeah, but it's all worth it," Rory said smiling.

"I'll try to help out as much as I can," Logan said.

"I'm sure my Mom and I can handle it," Rory said,

"Good, I wanted to offer; but I'm pretty sure I'd stink at this wedding stuff," Logan said, "But, I insist that I be allowed to plan the honeymoon myself."

"You do realize that I have school and won't be able to be gone for more than 2 or 3 days, right?" Rory asked.

"Yes. That is why I am thinking that we'll take our actual honeymoon over your Christmas break from school," Logan said, "We'll go somewhere right after the wedding just to get away but only for a few days."

"So, where are we going?" Rory asked.

"Do you really think I'm going to tell you?" Logan asked.

"You don't even know yet, do you?" Rory asked in reply.

"I have some ideas; but specifically, no," Logan confessed.

The couple finished their coffee and snapped a few pictures in which the Eiffel Tower was visible in the background. Their train would be leaving the station bound for Salzburg in just over 15 minutes and they needed to get back. They walked slowly, hands clasped between them; enjoying the warm Paris evening.

"Maybe we should come to Paris for our honeymoon," Rory suggested.

"Maybe, Ace," Logan replied, "But you'll just have to wait and see."

Logan stopped abruptly and pulled Rory to him. Dipping her backwards he kissed her passionately. They continued kissing as he pulled her back vertical. After a few minutes he pulled away leaving her breathless and said, "We need to hurry or we're going to miss our train." Again he grasped her hand and they ran toward the station. With just a minute to spare the couple collapsed onto one of the bed in their unit. Denying her time to catch her breath; Logan pulled her close and again kissed her fervently. As he kissed her his hands found their way under her shirt. Her hands were threaded into his golden hair. Logan pulled away sitting up and pulled her onto his lap. Straddling him she began unbuttoning his shirt when her cell phone began ringing in her pocket.

"I thought you shut that off," Logan said between kisses, "Don't answer it."

"I forgot to shut it off," Rory replied, "Sorry."

"Don't be sorry, Ace," Logan panted, "Just keep kissing me."

The phone stopped ringing and was quiet for a moment before it started ringing again. The couple did their best to ignore it through three more ring cycles before Logan finally pulled away and growled in frustration, "For Pete's sake, answer the damn thing."

"Hello?" Rory snarled into the phone without looking at the caller id.

"Rory?" A drunken voice inquired.

"Who is this?" Rory asked.

"It's me, Dean," he said.

Rory's stomach clenched and she coldly asked, "Why are you calling me?"

"I wanted to give you another chance," Dean explained.

"Another chance for what?" Rory spat.

"To be with me," Dean said.

"I don't want to be with you. We've been over for a long time," Rory replied.

"It will never be over between us Rory. Don't you understand? I love you," Dean said.

"Well I don't love you. Please don't contact me ever again," Rory said.

"Wait Rory, I need you," Dean said, starting to cry, "Lindsay and me are over."

"I'm sorry to hear that but I am engaged to Logan and I love him very much," Rory explained, "Please don't call me anymore; I'm not going to change my mind."

"Richie Rich doesn't deserve you," Dean shouted into the phone.

"You don't know anything about Logan. Please leave me alone," Rory said.

Without waiting to hear Dean's response Rory pressed end and turned off her phone, "I'm so sorry you had to hear that, Logan," Rory said.

He had moved to the other bed and sat with his arms folded across his chest. He was wearing an expression she'd never seen on him before and it scared her. Suddenly Logan stood up. Quickly he buttoned his shirt and slid his feet back into his shoes. "I need some air," he told her. Brushing hastily past her he exited their unit leaving her there alone.

Rory looked around the small unit unsure of what to do next. She adjusted her clothing and nervously ran her fingers through her tousled hair. Wrapping her arms around her middle she sat on the edge of the bed and let her tears fall. Why did Dean have to mess everything up? Why did she have to forget to turn off her phone? Why didn't she check the caller id? Rory let herself wallow for a few minutes before wiping away the tears and pulling herself back together. She wanted to go after him but he clearly needed some time alone. She pulled a book out of her bag, hoping it would help distract her until he returned.

Logan had found his way to a small balcony of sorts between cars. He stood with his back pressed against the wall; the wind ruffling his hair. Angrily he slammed the heel of his left foot into the wall behind him. How dare he call her, Logan fumed. Logan knew he was being irrational and yet, he couldn't help it. He had never felt like this before; it was new, but he still knew exactly what it was. Jealousy. He was jealous that this creep had ever owned part of Rory's heart. It didn't matter that it was all in the past or that Rory had confessed her love for Logan to Dean; he was jealous. He knew he had no right to feel this way or to take it out on Rory; but somehow he couldn't help it. He let his mind spin some more; rational thought starting to creep back in. Suddenly he realized that while he had never had to feel this way before, Rory probably had. He thought back to the bridesmaid incident and the girl he brought to her grandparents vow renewal. And yet, she was still with him. Pulling himself back together he straightened up and headed back to their unit. He needed to make this right between them.

Quietly he slipped back into their unit. Rory was asleep, a book open beside her on the bed. Logan sat down on the opposite bed and watched her. She was so beautiful. Sometimes he couldn't believe that she was his. She was the best thing that had ever happened to him. He needed to do everything in his power to always protect what they had and put it above all else. He could not allow his insecurities ruin what they had worked so hard for. Without her, he knew that his life would be meaningless. It was through her that he had learned what it really meant to love and to be loved. She had also taught him that his money meant nothing and that some of the best times one could have were free. He needed her and he only hoped that she needed him just as much. He removed his shoes and lay down on the bed he was currently sitting on. He desperately wanted to lie down next to her; but he didn't want to wake her.

Hours later Rory woke with a start; remembering the events that had occurred earlier; ending with Logan walking out of their unit. Rising from her bed in the darkness she failed to see Logan's shoes lying on the floor between their beds. Having never been graceful Rory was not able to recover her balance when she tripped over the shoes. Shrieking in anticipation of the crash; Rory landed on top of a startled Logan.

"Ouch," groaned Rory as she tried to untangle herself from Logan. Finally free and reassured that Logan had found his way back to their unit Rory turned to climb into her own bed. Understanding her motive Logan grabbed her arm and said, "No, stay." He pulled her under his covers with him and held her close. He could tell that she was crying and he knew that he was responsible.

"I'm so sorry," Logan whispered, "I did not handle what happened earlier well."

"I'm sorry he had to call and ruin our vacation," Rory said.

"He'll only ruin our vacation if we left him." Logan said, "And we are done dwelling on him."

"What happened before?" Rory asked in regard to Logan storming out earlier.

"I'm embarrassed to admit this; but I was jealous. Terribly, horribly jealous that he ever owned any part of your heart," Logan said.

"That was in the past. It's only you now," Rory said.

"I know," Logan agreed, "I couldn't help it though. It's weird. I've never felt that way before."

"Never?" Rory asked in surprise.

"Never," Logan confirmed, "But feeling that way makes me understand how horrible the bridesmaid incident must have been for you. Not to mention the girl I brought to your Grandparents vow renewal to or the girl I brought to the costume party at the pub…"

"Okay, let's not recap all the times I've had cause to be jealous," Rory said.

"I'm so sorry for tonight and I'm sorry for any of the times in the past that I've hurt you or made you jealous," Logan said.

"Apology accepted, "Rory replied, "Let's just promise to be honest with each other and trust each other and that should help prevent jealousy in the future."

"I promise," Logan whispered.

"Me too," Rory said.
