A/N: I would like to apologize for the delay. I don't really have an excuse, but I offer a short explanation. First, this is really my first attempt at any sort of creative writing, not just fan fic, (if you would like a research paper on metal fatigue…let me know, I can crank that out in a few hours) so sometimes I find it hard to get things on paper and when I get stuck, I don't have that ability to pull my self out of it down pat yet. Second, on the couple of days I had planned to do most of my writing I had some other commitments come up. So again I really do apologize.
Onto the chapter: As always a thanks to Christi, I know we both found parts of this one fairly entertaining so I hope you all enjoy it as well!

Monday morning while driving to work, Logan thought about his trip to San Francisco this past weekend. It had been going great until he started overreacting at the benefit, he knew he was doing it, but worrying about that was like a reflex. It was what he grew up around, not just his parents, but Colin's and Steph's too. The only slightly normal couple was Finn's parents who weren't around all that much since they split time between Australia and America, but before he saw them interact, Logan, along with Colin and Steph, had thought what their parents had was how all marriages worked. He loved Rory, he wanted to marry Rory, and he felt extremely guilty for snapping the way he had. He was thankful Rory understood, being patient yet reassuring. It was exactly what he needed to hear from her. At the time, it seemed silly, but now, a night with the guys sounded more and more appealing. As he pulled into the parking lot at the Times, the upcoming weekend was already lightening his mood.
He made his way to his desk, collecting his messages from the weekend and his trip. He was always surprised at how many he collected when he wasn't in the office, he knew it sounded lame; he was overseeing 3 newspapers and was also the future CEO/President of HM, but still couldn't believe how much time he spent on the phone. This morning proved to be no different, as he was on the phone continuously until lunch. The sad part was this made an afternoon reading stats and reports and filling out paperwork exciting.
Logan was happy when the rest of the week was spent with some meetings and time in actual news rooms. On Thursday, he had a lunch meeting scheduled with Dan and two writers on his staff.
"Hey Dan, ready to go?" Logan asked walking into the sports desk.
"Yep, you've met Charlie and Andrea right?"
Logan shook both their hands and said, "Of course," while the four exited the building.
The point of the lunch was to discuss the sports or events that were taking place in the fall and different stories/teams they wanted to feature. Since it was August, they really only had 3 sports to look at: the end of the MLB season and their playoffs, the start of the football (both college and pro), and the U.S. Open. While this planning was necessary, Logan wasn't really needed, but he was a sports fan and didn't have many opportunities to discuss them lately. Rory, well, she was the most athletically challenged person he'd ever met. Finn grew up Australian, which meant he followed the same sports as the rest of the world, like soccer and rugby. While Logan liked those sports, he preferred American sports like football, hockey, and basketball. And finally Colin, Colin played golf and sometimes tennis recreationally, but was never big in following sports: If he wasn't involved, he wasn't interested. So, when Dan had asked about him sitting in on a meeting, he quickly accepted.
After they sat down and ordered their drinks, Dan opened the discussion, "First off, baseball."
This was met by groans, when Charlie finally spoke up, "I like baseball, but the season may actually go on for an eternity, I have an intern investigating the matter as we speak."
Andrea rolled her eyes at his theatrics, but pointed out, "But in the end they have the lowest percentage that go onto the post season, so it's probably the most important sport to win your division."
"True but a loss or two doesn't hurt your standings the way it does in football," Logan argued.
"Which makes each individual game during the regular season not seem as important. Missing 5 games because you're out of town isn't a big deal, in football that's a third of the season," Andrea shot back, before she was realizing who she was talking too and adding, "I'm sorry Mr. Huntzberger."
"It's nothing," Logan said wanting to wave it off. Truth was he enjoyed the more laid back atmosphere this type of meeting produced. He always felt like more was accomplished this way than when he was stuck in a stuffy board room all day.
"Okay, points made," Dan said, trying to get back on topic. "The fact is we have 2 New York teams at the top of their divisions, who will very likely make it to the playoffs…we need to capitalize on that."
"The Mets are more of a sure in right now, the Yankees still have the Red Sox within striking distance," Logan pointed out.
"Okay so we'll use all of that, plus an article on who is being predicted to win the pennant, for baseball. Next topic, the NFL." Dan dictated, while jotting down notes.
"We need to do preview of the Jets and Giants with some analysis on the rookies and newly acquired players after a few preseason games are played," Logan said, thinking about the upcoming season.
"What about out national readers?" Dan asked
"We could have a short preview for each team and then have slightly more in-depth look at the top preseason teams: Colts, Steelers, Patriots, Seahawks and Eagles." Andrea suggested.
"Those teams do cover most regions of the US, add in the Cowboys, and probably have the most loyal fan basis, so it would work well," Logan offered.
"Done, college football?" Dan shot, wanting to get the meeting ended quickly.
"Nothing much is out yet, the first games are still a few weeks away," Charlie offered.
"Fine, do some general coverage of the initial top 25 and a small Big East preview," Dan replied. Just then the waiter returned to take their orders. After he left, Dan said, "And last, but not least, the US Open."
"Federer is predicted to win," Logan offered.
"As consistent as gravity," Andrea added. "What about a look at the some of the no-names who went through all the qualifiers to get a spot. Everyone always loves those stories."
"Actually I like that; although, it starts at the end of the month, so we'll get back to it as it gets closer," Dan decided.
"Is that it?" Logan asked.
"Yep, I told you it would be quick, that's why we did it over lunch. Just wanted to make sure we weren't missing anything big. I think it's easier to do a quick run through with a few other people before I sit down and start handing out assignments. Less chance of something getting overlooked," Dan said honestly.
"What I like to hear," Logan teased.
"So I still have a job?" Dan asked sarcastically.
"Not if you keep asking," Logan shot back.
Charlie and Andrea looked shocked at the playful teasing between Dan and Logan, not understanding how Dan could be so calm around the Huntzberger heir. After a few more minutes of conversation, they were able to get over their shock and remember the multiple meetings the two had since he started. They enjoyed their lunch and discovered that Logan seemed to actually know a lot about running a newspaper despite his young age. When lunch finished the group returned to the office and Logan made his way to another meeting to finish out his day.
--
Logan only got through the rest of the week by thinking about Friday which couldn't come fast enough. Just the thought of hanging out with his friends allowed him to start relaxing as he took his shower. When he finished he threw on a pair of khakis and a t-shirt before heading across the hall to Finn's. He wasn't surprised to see he was the first to arrive, so he helped Finn set up the table for poker. The plan was for Logan, Colin, and Seth to all meet at Finn's apartment, play poker, and just relax and enjoy being with the guys.
Seth was the next to arrive. He had an interesting role within their group, being 2 years older he had graduated with his master's degree the same year as Logan got his bachelor's. He wasn't as close as the other 3, but had known them for years and over time had become something of a cross between good friend and older brother, a trusted confidant and even mentor if the occasion called for it. With him, he brought a fifth of whiskey and a tray of what Logan would guess to be spinach triangles.
Logan and Finn were both staring at the food when Logan asked, "I thought we were ordering pizza?"
"Yeah mate, why would you bring food? All I said you needed to bring was yourself and money to loose."
"But this," Seth said, point to the food he had just set down, "was easier."
"How was bringing food easier? The bottle, I understand…alcohol doesn't go bad, but that looks like society food," Finn pointed out.
"It was bring the food or continue the argument I was having with Laura," Seth said trying to explain.
"So you're whipped. It's okay, you're among friends. We won't harass you…" Logan stated, trying to stay serious, but when he saw Finn laughing, let it out and added, "…too much!"
"Who's calling who whipped, Huntzberger?" Seth retorted.
"I am not whipped!" Logan exclaimed.
"Yes, you are!" Colin pointed out while closing the door. Walking to where the other three were gathered, he looked at the counter and asked, "Who brought the chick food?"
"Seth," Finn answered, shaking his head.
"Why? Wasn't this supposed to be a guys' night…I think that type of food is a violation."
"Colin, my dear friend, it seems Seth is whipped and brought shame to our night to avoid a disagreement with the Missus," Finn explained dramatically.
"She didn't believe me when I said I wasn't supposed to bring food. She kept yelling, saying it was rude to show up with out a dish to pass and made them for me to bring. I have enough trouble talking her out of bringing food to society parties and she spent extra time trying to make something she thought would be appropriate. What was I supposed to do? Refuse and leave the food?" Seth argued, trying to make them understand.
He knew that you didn't bring food places in society because it was considered an insult to the host, and lets face it it's not like they couldn't afford it. Laura was slowly grasping the concept, but she came from a small Southern town where you always took food when visiting people. Seth had met Laura while getting his undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering at Duke. She was getting her degree in Communications, but was the same age as the guys, so they had maintained a long distance relationship for the first year he was working on his Master's degree at Yale, choosing it to appease his family by having at least one degree from their alma mater. Because of this, and Seth's desire to distance himself from the society life, she was still adjusting. Truth be told, this was also one of the reasons he immediately liked her; she wasn't from Hartford. But, this was also what caused her to insist he bring a plate of who knows what to Finn's. He loved her for trying and wanting to fit in, but even more so for her genuinely sweet intentions when she did it.
Colin started laughing, "Man, you need to get out more…"
"Look who's talking? What took you so long to get here Colin?" Seth asked skeptically.
"I was running late," he stated simply. When he was met by the unconvinced looks of his friends, he relented, "Fine, I was waiting for Steph to get ready, we came here together. And don't look at me like that Logan, you're just as bad!"
"I was on time, without an appetizer," Logan replied swiftly.
"You live across the hall, and Rory doesn't cook," Finn answered, getting out glasses and pouring drinks.
"I believe she once told me that using a stove was against her sacred doctrine. When I asked what religion, she said the Lorelai," Seth reasoned.
"That doesn't mean…" Logan started.
"Face it, Huntz," Seth said, "if I'm whipped, you're…you're…I don't know what you are, but it's worse." This caused the rest of the guys to break out in laughter as Logan turned red from embarrassment.
"Oh wait! I got it!" Finn exclaimed. "He's conquered." At the rest of the guys' confused faces, he attempted to elaborate. "Think about it, if you're whipped, you still have free choice, you're just being influenced to choose the way someone else wants you too, but if you're conquered, you're done for…decisions will never again be yours. When William conquered England, he brought with him a new rule; he established the modern monarchy. You are England, and my dear, sweet Rory is the all powerful, all knowing monarch."
After a few moments, Colin started laughing. Seth and Logan just looked overwhelmed so Colin tried to explain through his laughter, "I don't know about Finn's reference, but I'll give him some credit. Think about this: The union army was whipped by the Confederates for the first two years of the Civil War, but was never conquered. In fact, most scholars say Grant was whipped through most of the war, especially towards the end. But, he was not conquered. Lee was never whipped, but was conquered and in the end that was all that mattered. Grant could keep fighting while he was whipped, but once Lee was conquered, that was the end." Halfway through his speech, Seth had started laughing as well.
Logan decided to turn the tables on them since he knew he wasn't going to get out of this conversation unscathed. "Hey, I don't know what you all are laughing about. Rory has you guys all whipped, doing her bidding at the drop of the hat, and you aren't even dating her…at the end of the day, I get pleasantly rewarded; what do you get? And at least, I only have one woman with influence over me, you all have two." That shut the rest of them up quickly, knowing there was some truth to the statement.
"Let's just call a truce," Colin said to his friends, "We all admit that our women and/or Reporter girl, as the case may be, have some control over us, and we in turn stop arguing about it."
"What would the girls say if they found out you called them 'our woman?'" Finn asked with a raised eyebrow. He had learned never to underestimate those two.
"They wouldn't care," Colin tried, but they could all he didn't even begin to believe it.
"Organize a Lysistrata style protest," Seth offered.
"And what did this Lysistrata do?" Finn asked.
"Organized the women of warring nations to with hold sex from their husbands until they signed at peace treaty," Seth explained.
"That is cruel and unusual punishment," Colin yelled.
"But it would be self inflicted for you, you're the one who would have started it!" Logan said with fierce accusation.
"I thought we were calling a truce?" Colin whined.
Logan and Seth slowly nodded their heads, while Finn decided to protest it, yelling, "I did not agree to this truce of which you speak!"
"And why is that Finn? Bri doesn't care what you do?" Logan asked in a tired, but teasing, tone.
"In fact, no she does not. We have had a wonderful time on each of our three dates, and she has yet to boss me around," Finn stated proudly.
"Because you've only been on three dates…you just wait!" Seth reasoned.
The four guys were staring each other down when the buzzer rang telling them the pizza arrived. The interruption brought the cease fire into effect and they each grabbed a slice to eat before the poker game started.
"I still can't believe you're getting married…" Seth said, shaking his head looking over at Logan, "I always figured Colin would be the first of you three to go."
"Why me?" Colin asked, almost sounding offended.
"Because you were in love with Steph," he said simply.
"But we've only been going out a year, Logan has been with Rory for longer than that."
"Yeah, but you had a thing for Steph way before Rory and Logan started dating," he argued, when he saw Colin wasn't convinced, he said, "besides you were always the mature one of the group, so it would have only been natural for you to settle down first. You were never as bad as Logan or Finn when it came to dating."
"I guess," Colin grumbled.
Letting the comment about himself and Finn go, Logan decided to bring up a subject he had been curious about for some time. "Speaking of…when are you going to make an honest women out of Steph?" Logan said teasingly, but also was curious about the answer.
Colin sighed and thought about avoiding the question, but then noticed his friends were trying to be serious. Something they didn't pull off well, and in truth, was creeping him out. His first instinct was to dodge the question, but figured a truthful answer would be the fastest route to a new subject, "We've talked about it, something I'm blaming on you, Logan. We decided that it wouldn't make sense to get married until after I graduate." At the look on his friend's face, he knew that wasn't good enough. And since he already gave a partial answer, the least he could do was elaborate. Sighing, he added, "I may propose to her while I'm still in school so she doesn't expect it, but the wedding won't be until after. If I wait on proposing, she'll expect it the day of my graduation. In fact, I have it on good authority she may start harboring violent tendencies 24 hours after commencement if there is not a ring on a very specific finger."
"Sounds about right," Logan said with a nod. "How about you Seth, besides Laura's cooking, how is married life?"
"Actually, I have some news to share…" Seth said mysteriously.
"You're getting divorced?" Colin asked.
"He's not your father," Finn replied dryly.
"No, everything is good, excellent in fact. Laura's pregnant," Seth confessed, to the shock of the other three.
"What happened? Slip one past the goalie?" Logan teased.
Seth shook his head, "No, we decided to start trying sooner rather than later. It takes some couples longer than others, for us it happened right away…I guess, I'm that good," he said with a bit of pride.
"I don't think it actually has to do with your abilities in bed as much as it does the condition of the condom used Seth," Colin replied shortly, still bitter from the earlier conversation.
"Well that's good, or else you'd be screwed," Finn told Colin with out missing a beat.
"You two are idiots," Logan said with a laugh.
"And why is that?" Colin asked, while shooting a glare at Finn.
"Because if they were trying to get pregnant, I don't think a condom would be involved. Its purpose in life is to prevent pregnancy, not enable it. So there was no condom to break or malfunction in any other manner," Logan said simply.
"Fine, I think it has to do with sperm count, not how good the sex is," Colin amended.
"And, Steph is thankful everyday," Finn said, adding another jab.
Logan noticed Finn and Colin starting to stare each other down and intervened, "Ready to lose you're money boys?"
"Ha, like that's going to happen…your Ace isn't here to bring you luck, now is she?" Colin asked.
"So?" Logan questioned.
"You do have a much better record when she's around which seems to contradict the popular theory that she would serve as a distraction. Are you sure she's not counting the cards for you? Maybe seeing other people's hands, and you've developed a code. Like her calling you arrogant means someone has three of a kind," Finn argued.
"You're assuming she knows anything more than we use cards while playing," Logan said with a laugh while shuffling the cards to deal.
"Dealer calls it?" Logan received nods and started to deal, "We're starting the night off with Omaha gentlemen."
After dealing everyone 4 cards the betting began and soon enough he was turning over the river card, and the final bets were placed. Only Colin had folded, while Logan and Seth called Finn.
Finn looked around the table, gave an evil grin, laid down 2 cards from his hand, and pronounced, "All reds…"
"You watched Ocean's 11 with Rory again, didn't you?" Logan asked, but had to laugh at the perfectly timed reference.
"Maybe," Finn said, trying to sound defeated. He picked up the cards and laid down the other two, pocket 9's and sighed, "fine I'll play your way, full house."
Seth muttered, "Damn Aussie," before both he and Logan threw their cards in, and Finn triumphantly collected the pot.
Colin shuffled and, being a bit frustrated from the hand before, announced that the game was Razz and dealt everyone 2 down, 1 up.
"So Finn, what's the story with Bri?" Logan asked.
"What's it to you?" Finn shot back.
"Nothing, but Ace threatened something I love dearly unless I came back with some info…so let's hear it."
"What do you know?" he asked.
"Bri told Rory it went well," Logan said truthfully, it was the extent of his knowledge.
"She has a daughter," Finn offered.
"Really?" Colin asked surprised at the information.
"Did you know?" Finn asked while looking straight at Logan: It was something he had been wondering since the first date.
"Actually, no. Usually when Ace talked about Bri, it was more in the context of work or your impending date, I didn't find out about her until she told me Maddy had the chicken pox so Bri wasn't at work," Logan said honestly.
"And, you're okay with this?" Seth asked, trying to gage what Finn's reaction may have been.
"Yeah, I mean I never really thought about dating someone who already had a kid, but it's going pretty good, besides she's sweet. I was shocked at first: She hadn't given any indication of it before she ran home. I went with her, and surprise, surprise, there was a 3 year old. I wasn't sure what to say, but the next thing I know, I was buying supplies for an upset stomach at the drug store and playing a kid's game."
"Which game?" Logan asked, wondering why Finn just didn't say the name and move on to a less serious topic. He knew Finn didn't like to delve to deep into personal information and figured he'd help him out.
"Why does it matter?" Finn asked, trying to avoid the answer although he appreciated what Logan did.
"Oh it matters," Colin said, hoping for revenge.
"Fine, we played Pretty Pretty Princess,and it was fun!" Finn said, trying to look dignified.
Seth saw that in some way Finn was glad he was getting along with Maddy and decided to save him from the teasing, "So how did the night end?"
"She thought I was going to never want to see her again," Finn admitted.
"So that's what Rory meant when she said Bri hadn't had much luck with guys!" Logan exclaimed, all the pieces falling into place.
"And I told her I wanted to see her again, and I kissed her," Finn said happily.
"So what's happened since then?" Seth asked.
"Then, last Saturday we went to the zoo, which was actually a lot of fun, and Wednesday we made a second attempt at dinner, which went smoothly, no interruptions."
"So, is it serious?" Seth asked, wanting to get to the point. He was curious if the last of the Yale playboys was settling down.
"She's my girlfriend, if that's what you're asking," Finn said fidgeting, wanting to end the conversation.
"How is the sex? Good to be back in the swing of things?" Colin teased.
"Why do you have to be such an ass?" Finn snapped.
"Still irritable I see, I guess that means it hasn't happened yet," Colin taunted.
"No, we haven't, not that it should matter to you. I like her and don't want her to think it's about sex. Besides it's different, she has Maddy to think about."
They were silent; Finn usually wasn't the one to get short with people. After a few minutes, Logan said, "I think that's good."
"Thank you, now I'm going to check," Finn answered.
The hand finished, with Colin winning and the other three swearing off the game for the night. Next, Finn dealt a game of 7 card stud, in which he won again.
Next, Seth was up. He declared, "The game is lucky seven's, remember deuces, jacks and the man with the axe are wild, but a pair of natural seven's beats anything," before dealing the hand like 5 card draw.
They were all reading the cards when Finn decided to turn the tables, "So Logan, everyone else has been grilled, what about you? How are you and Ror doing?"
"We're fine," Logan said, with a wave of his hand.
"Uh huh, so what inspired tonight, not that I'm complaining…" Seth asked.
"Just stressed out, that's all. Needed a break from work and wedding plans," Logan stated.
"That's not true," Colin interrupted, "Steph said it had to do with a freak out in San Francisco." The others looked shocked between Colin and Logan, who had his mouth hung open.
"A guy hit on her at the charity event assuming we had an arranged marriage…like my mother would ever allow the name Gilmore to be considered for that type of thing…" Logan rambled, before remembering the topic, "anyways, after we kissed, everyone seemed so shocked that we love each other, and it just got to me. I mean, people think I don't love her because of who am I. I think Rory realized that I was stressed out and that just made it worse and figured a night with other people who understand the situation may help calm me down."
At his look of pure vulnerability and sadness, the others didn't know what to say to him. They knew what it was like to be in his position, everyone assumed society couples married for convenience. They all faced it.
Colin knew that it was assumed he would marry and divorce several times because his father did it. But despite the different stereotypes placed on them, they all knew growing up Logan's parents had to have been the worst. His mother was a gold digger desperately trying to fit into society, his father had more affairs than Colin had step-mothers, and neither of his parents considered Logan a child – he was the heir pure and simple. Although Logan had said his relationship with Mitchum had changed over the past year, and Rory even told Steph it was different, but that was all behind closed doors. That couldn't undo all the years those widely known facts floated through gossip circles all over the country. As much as they hated to admit it, the guys could see how people would assume the worst about Logan's impending marriage, especially since it was to someone from a society family. Scandal aside, a Gilmore would help the Huntzberger name pure and simple: No one would ever consider the fact that Logan and Rory could care less about the other's last name.
Finally, Seth broke through the silence returning to the earlier subject, knowing there was nothing anyone could say. "I defiantly don't miss the wedding planning…man, that was a nightmare," he said, remembering the months leading to his own wedding, which was almost a year ago now.
"It really hasn't been too bad, if you ignore my mother, which we've become experts at. Even, Emily has started making fun of her," Logan said seriously. The rest of the guys started laughing at the picture of proper Emily Gilmore making fun of Shira. No one could believe it, but could only imagine the underhanded insults she would throw Shira's way. If they knew one thing about the Gilmore's, it was that could handle themselves better than anybody else – even Lorelai and Rory who pulled off a look of angelic innocence when they wanted could throw hidden insults like no other.
"Oh just wait. You're doing the easy stuff right now: location, wedding party, rings. No, that's fine…it's the other stuff." Seth said, bringing everyone out of their thoughts on Emily and Shira.
"Like what?" Logan questioned.
"The song they play when you enter the reception…or all the music, for that matter. Centerpieces at the reception, china patterns for your registry…" Seth started, ticking down the list.
"I'm sure whatever Ace picks will be great, I'm not really worried," Logan answered.
"Logan, Logan, Logan…" Seth said disapprovingly.
"What?" he exclaimed.
"So much to learn. This is what I've named the wedding planning catch-22."
"Is that so?" Logan asked, obviously skeptical.
"Yes. Now let me ask you do you want flowers or let's say…candles as the table centerpieces for the reception?"
"I don't know…whatever Ace wants works for me."
"Wrong," Seth offered.
"Wrong? How is that wrong? No, wrong would be saying I want disco balls on each table…"
"Let me explain it to you. Women get excited and want to plan out every detail of the wedding, which is fine. Then at some point, they think you, the groom, are not involved enough. They want you to care about the wedding as much as they do," Seth started his explanation.
"I do care about the wedding!" Logan defended.
"The wedding, yes, all the planning, no. The problem is you, and I, for that matter, could care less about half the details. We see the big picture…the wedding. Women see your lack of input as being that you don't really care about the wedding which means you don't care about getting married."
"That's just stupid!" Finn yelled.
"I know, now here's the catch-22. After they say you should care more and give more input, they ask you what you want for something, and so you give an answer and without fail, it isn't the answer they want."
"Okay…." Logan said, confused by Seth's point.
"See, they know what they want their wedding to be like, in a way, they have it all planned out in their head, how they want it to look and all those details."
"So what do you do?" Logan asked, he could see this happening.
"My advice is, before she gets upset, offer your opinion when she can't decide between 2 things. That way, you know she likes both options, so you can't screw that part up, and you're being involved, so you don't get yelled at."
"Huh…" Logan thought and made a mental note to do just that.
"Okay onto a happier subject…who's planning the bachelor party?" Seth asked.
"Me!" Finn said with excitement.
"Finn, I swear you will die if there are strippers, or exotic dancers, or any other form of scantily clad women at the event," Logan warned.
"You ruin my fun," he said with a pout.
"Maybe, but I would actually like to still be getting married after said party. Besides, Seth here doesn't want to be threatened with divorce papers, and Colin needs to make it to the proposal….and need I remind you of what Honor is capable of if you piss her off?" Logan said, trying to reason with his friend.
"Fine, you're lucky I have a back up plan," Finn declared, while refilling his drink.
"Do I really want to know?" Logan asked.
"I was thinking 2 nights in Vegas…and not for the girls," Finn stated, adding on the last part when he saw the worry on all three of their faces.
As much as Logan hated to admit it, it was a good idea. It would be a hell of a time, and it wasn't a Rory banned activity. Finally, he smiled and said, "I'm in."
"Good, just let me know the weekend, and I'll work out the details,"
"We're pathetic," Colin announced.
"Take that back!" Finn demanded.
"It's true. We're worse than a group of girls. We've spent the majority of our evening talking about relationships, Seth is giving wedding advice, we've barely touched the food, we have DAR food on top of that, and we've only played 4 hands of poker."
At Colin's declaration, the other 3 looked around and saw the truth causing Logan to look at his cards and finally place his bet for the hand Seth had dealt probably 10 or 15 minutes ago.
