A/N: I have the worst posting schedule ever. I don't post for a month and then I do three chapters in a day. But here it is. The (very short) final chapter. I actually wrote this back in January and it feels like I've been waiting forever to post it! Thank you so much to everyone who has read/reviewed/followed/favorited this story. I can't believe I actually got to the end of it. This was the first thing I ever tried writing that wasn't just a little one shot and I'm overwhelmed how many people have responded positively to it. You guys are the reason I've made it this far :) I'll update this chapter with the link for the sequel once I get that up, so keep an eye out one way or another if you want to know what happens next (I'm very excited to find out myself)!

Hey, how was graduation?

Oh, you know. Full of pomp. And circumstance. Good timing, actually. It just ended. I'm about to try to track down my family.

I'll need it. There are a ton of people here. It's ridiculous. I don't know whether if I should actively look or just stand still and hope they find me.

Just move very slowly. It's a little bit of both.

I'm going to have to. There are literally a million people here. I'm pretty sure everyone who graduated invited everyone they knew. People must have printed up counterfeit tickets or something.

I've heard graduation ticket scalping is an incredibly lucrative profession.

I'm sure it is. You should have seen how many people in Stars Hollow were upset about not being able to come. It was absolutely insane.

Oh hey, I found Logan. I'll text you in a while, okay? I'm going out to dinner with everyone but I'll be around tonight.

Are you okay?


New Text to Jess

5/5/07 4:37pm

What? Of course I'm okay. Why do you ask?

That was a really shitty thing Logan did. Even if you said no, he shouldn't have walked away like that. I'm really sorry.

How do you know what Logan did? I didn't even tell you that he proposed last night.

Turn around.
