"Logan darling." Shira drawled into the phone.
"Mother."
"A young lady, I forgot her name, but she's a DuGray. Well she will be doing an interview with me about society wives, and I figured you could charm her or sleep with her, and make sure she makes me sound just great." Logan sighed into the phone.
"Fine whatever you want mother, but if she's some old bag then I'm out."
"Don't worry darling she's a young girl, at Yale I think." Shira informed him.
Logan groaned. He thought he could get out of this dinner with the age thing, but no. "Ok so Logan I'll meet you at that nice restaurant on Friday at 7 sharp."
"Yes mother, I'll be there, I don't know why this matters but whatever. Good bye mother."
Shira smiled, this article would make her look good no matter what she had to do to get it that way.
On Friday Lorelai Leigh DuGray the Fourth agreed to have a real dinner with her parents after her interview. She loved her parents and her Grandma Lorelai. They weren't like they other parents, her mom was her best friend, just like her Grandma had been her mom's best friend. They weren't as close in age but they were still really close.
Tristan and Rory tried to keep straight faces when they heard about the article their daughter had to write. First she had to write about society wives and then she had interview Shira Huntzberger. They fell into hysterics, they couldn't help themselves. Their daughter had just glared at them.
They sat a table away from where her daughter sat waiting for Shira and apparently someone else.
Tristan and Rory say chatting when they entered.
Rory gawked when she saw who Shira had brought. Why the hell would Shira bring Logan and then she got it. Rory started to laugh hysterically. Her daughter turned and gave her a weird look.
"Mary, what are you laughing at?" Tristan craned his neck to find what his wife was laughing at when she pointed at Shira and Logan.
"She brought" Rory managed to stop laughing. "She brought Logan with to get him to charm Leigh into writing a good interview thingy of Shira." Tristan chuckled.
Didn't they realize that Logan was almost twenty years her senior?
It had been 20 years since she had last seen Logan. Not many people knew but she had seen him while she was on the Obama campaign. The bus had stopped in California about a month after she left when her buddies decided to go to a bar for the night. Rory had walked into the bar and heard a drunken rendition of "From the Bottom of my Broken Heart" by Britney Spears and turned towards the sound and saw Logan singing away with a glass of tequila. At the end of the song he walked up to a brunette in the first row and kissed her, she kissed back and they proceeded to make out. Logan had never seen her and she walked out in disgust.
It was about six months later when the bus stopped in North Carolina when Rory went to visit Mia. Working on the front desk was Tristan and the rest you could say was history, they were only dating a short time when Rory became pregnant with Leigh, they had a private wedding ceremony with Lorelai, Luke, Emily, Richard, Mia, Tristan and Rory.
Here they were 20 years later with their oldest daughter that attended Yale watching Logan Huntzberger flirting with Leigh like she was a floozy. Leigh knew who Shira and Logan were and was acting embarrassed by Logan 'subtle' foot rubbing up and down her leg. Shira thought she was in heaven watching what she believed was flirting between the two. When the interview concluded Shira asked when it was going to be published, Leigh told her in 3 days time, in the Saturday's edition. It was the edition that sold the fastest and was the most popular due to the gossip sections covered 75% of the paper.
Logan and Shira walked out of the restaurant feeling satisfied but not before Logan put his cell number on the napkin in front of her and told her to call him.
After they walked out of the restaurant, Leigh walked over to her parents table and proceeded to eat everything in sight that was edible.
Three days later…
Society woman's perspective…Is Shira Huntzberger really the role model we want? See page 2-3 for the answer. Read the headline
As people in the area turned to page 2, they saw the answer had been no. But it wasn't a straight forward one, the article went on about everything that was discussed but right towards the end it was said how she brought her 47 year old bachelor son to flirt with the reporter and he left his number. Underneath the article was another headline,
Who is this reporter? See page 4 to find out.
Over the page was a full blown article with pictures of Leigh growing up and special to mention to her parents Lorelai Leigh DuGray the Third and Tristan Janlan DuGray who were there the night of the interview. It also mention how her mother was called "Mary" by her loving husband but had another nickname growing up, it was "Ace". The article finished there.
Both Logan and Shira Huntzberger put their papers down in shock. Shira had put it down because she was being portrayed as a pimp for her son, while Logan put it down because of the mention of his "Ace" that got away.
At the DuGray residence Richard and Emily Gilmore were sitting with their great granddaughter as she read the article she had written. They were both proud of her, as they were their whole family.
Tristan and his "Mary" were in the kitchen reading the article and making out at the same time. Leigh's phone vibrated and Rory picked up to see it flashed "Logan" and she answered it.
As soon as she answered it, the line went dead and that was the last time that Logan rang Leigh again.
