Chapter 24: Family privileges
When he was sure that this terrible woman was out of his house he went back into the bedroom, not caring about the guests that still were shocked by the scene they just witnessed. She was still sitting on the same spot of the bed, staring at her hands. He sat down next to her taking her into his arms.
"She's gone…"
"I don't want to see her again. Ever."
"After all she's still your mother…The only Grandmother our children will have…" She was family, even if she didn't behave like that. You couldn't just turn your back to family…
"She's just lost that privilege…" With a sigh she freed herself from his hug and stole a quick kiss.
"I have to go to the bathroom…"
When she had closed the door he got up and went to the window.
Jess was showing their guests out.
Richard Gilmore took his crying wife briefly into his arms and then settled her into the car.
Luke Danes stood by the window of his bedroom, watching his in-laws drive away and was thinking about family. He couldn't believe that he was once more speaking for Emily Gilmore.
Could you lose the right to be part of a family?
