"So how did the doctor appointment go?" said Lorelai, helping Rory set the table while Luke cooks dinner. "I assume it's all well? I've been wondering all day, but have been too busy to text you. A reservation somehow got lost and then it was essentially Tetris to fix."

"Very much so and I thought about texting you, but figured it could wait." said Rory, setting down the silverware on napkins, wondering where Luke even found cloth napkins in this house and assumes he must have brought them over earlier. "We rarely do this - eat at the table it seems."

"See, now that's sad." said Luke, stirring a pot. "Never sitting down for a dinner in here?"

"What can I say? We just usually had dinner in the living room." said Lorelai. "Seating is more comfortable and that's where the TV lives." Luke sighs and Lorelai laughs. "See, we're being civilized and planning to eat in here at the table. And keep in mind we eat at the diner a lot and that's sitting down at a table."

Rory laughs at the two lightly bickering. She wondered if that would be her and Logan in the future, though she would be cool with family dinners together around a table most nights. She finishes setting the table as Lorelai had abandoned it to mess with Luke. "So what does smell so good, Luke?" she asked.

"I went simple. Just pasta with some vegetables and sauce. Just things I threw together." said Luke, checking the oven and pulling out a pan. "And garlic bread as I was told by Lorelai that it had to be made."

"Everyone loves garlic bread!" said Rory, setting out the salad that she had prepped earlier. Luke had dropped off some groceries earlier and she had offered since she wanted to help out.

"See? Told you." said Lorelai, getting out the salad dressing. "I'm vindicated!" She can't help cheering.

"I forfeited already." said Luke, tossing the finished bread onto a small platter and handing it to Lorelai. He stirs the pasta into the sauce and vegetables. "And dinner is ready." He plates up the pasta into a large bowl and sets it on the table.

Serving herself some pasta and passing around the bowl, Lorelai asked, "I have to ask, even if you throw bread at me. Has Logan told his parents?" She fake ducks after placing the bowl back on the table as Rory pretends to throw a piece of garlic bread at her. Luke rolls his eyes at their antics.

Rory laughs. "It is a fair question." said Rory. "He said he called his dad. Supposedly Mitchum took it pretty well and was mostly just shocked...and Mitchum was going to tell Shira. I'm sure there will be issues later, but for now, yeah."

"Now I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that house when that happens." said Lorelai, with a sigh. "With how little she likes to think of anyone besides herself it seems. Total witch with a b."

Rory bites a bite of food, nodding, remembering how bad Shira is. "Is it bad of me I still think it's funny Grandma told her off?" she asked, laughing a little remembering Emily's recounting of the night.

"Not at all." said Lorelai. "At least in my opinion, she deserved it. And your grandma is very protective of you."

"Hell even I wish I had been there for that." said Luke, with a laugh. "After you recounting her story, even at a snobby party, it would almost make it funnier."

"So anyways, that's the news." said Rory, taking a sip of the water. "Nothing too exciting." As if to want to defy her, her phone rings. "Excuse me, I probably should see who it is." She walks into her room and gently closes the door before answering. "Hello?"

"Hi, it's Lavie Anders." said Lavie. "I know it's probably dinner time, but I just got word from the sellers and figured it might be worth the interruption. They agreed to all your terms and the house is yours. There's some final paperwork to go over, but we can make an appointment to do it in a couple days. Congratulations!"

"Yes! And thanks for calling." said Rory, happily. "Hope you have a good rest of your night."

"Thanks and you too!" said Lavie, sounding a little distracted. "Sorry just busy with the daughter. Anyways, goodnight."

"Goodnight and goodbye." said Rory, hanging up the phone. Not being sure what Logan could be up to, she texts him the happy news and walks out of her room and back to the table. She figures Logan will call when he gets a chance.

Lorelai is barely able to let Rory sit down before she asked, "So good news? You're smiling." Luke also looks at Rory curiously.

"Exactly." said Rory. "We got the house!"
