Let's Play Hide & Go Seek
' Damn him. He is such an ass. I was so afraid that after last night he would never talk to me, but guess what! He wasn't even home. I still came to talk to him, even though I was afraid. The whole world does not revolve around him.' Rory thought angrily as she sat in her car, outside his house.
Taking one last look at his house, she threw the car in gear and drove away from his house. Deciding that she wasn't about to give up, she headed towards the place she believed he might be.
Pulling into the valet's circle at the country club, she stopped the car and proceeded to get out.
" Name Miss?" asked the valet.
" Rory Gilmore. Could you possibly keep it kind of close? I'm not going to be long."
" Yes, Miss. Gilmore."
" Thanks."
Smiling she walked up to the front desk, sure he would be here. Waiting for the receptionist to get off the phone, Rory listed other places he might be in her mind.
" Can I help you Miss?"
" Yes. Can you tell me if Tristan DuGrey is here?"
" Yes. Hold on."
Rory watched the young lady flip through the sign-in book. Time passed slowly as she waited for her answer.
" Miss?"
" Huh? Oh sorry, Yes?"
" He hasn't signed in yet, but he might stop by later. Would you like to leave a message?"
" No. I forgot, we're meeting somewhere else, I just remembered. Thanks for checking for me."
" No problem. Have a nice day."
" You too."
Rory walked out of the lobby and sighed. Where else could he be? Handing the valet her number, she waited for him to return with her car.
' Where next? The mall? No, he doesn't really like shopping. The movies? Too early. The beach? Too far away and it's too cold to go swimming. Wait! The park! He has to be there. Where is it? I know it's not that far from here. I can find it easily.'
Finally the valet pulled up with the jeep. Giving him his tip and a smile, she got into the car and drove towards the park.
