So you like it, huh? I'm sorry it's taken me so long to continue. I
just got back from 4 weeks at French camp. No Gilmore Girls, no
fanfiction, no electricity.NO ENGLISH! Well, some English, but still.
Don't forget to collect your thoughts at the review button on your
way out.

Another excerpt from Holden Revisited: A Novel.
***
Have I mentioned before that Delilah was addicted to coffee? I'm sure I have, but I feel the need to emphasize it. See, Dee picked up every last one of her mothers habits, including that jumbo shrimp coffee addiction. That's one of the things that brought us together in the first place. You see, I like to think that I inherited my Uncle Larry's gift for coffee making, after all, I worked in his Café for two and a half years, and every single day that I worked there Delilah and Dee would come in begging for coffee. When I say begging, I mean begging. Larry didn't like serving Delilah coffee, I guess to him it meant admitting defeat. Once, in an attempt to get what she liked to refer to as the "nectar of the gods" she even offered him her first born son. Knowing how in love with her Larry was I'm surprised he didn't take her up on it, instead he just handed her a mug as always and then disappeared into the kitchen without another word.

Rory was deeply engrossed in the novel. She didn't put it down until she'd read every last word, including the copyright information and the dedication:
You still owe me an egg roll Love Dodger
Eric sat quietly as she did so, occasionally he'd get up to get her a cup of coffee or an unhealthy treat, but other than to ask for such things Rory didn't say a word.
Finally, she finished. "Oh-My-God."

Meanwhile, Luke's diner, Stars Hollow. Present are Luke (the given), Lorelai (just about as given), Taylor and Miss Patty (off in a corner arguing about something for the next Stars Hollow festival), and a very well camouflaged Jess (who had made it in unnoticed and was hiding in a corner booth). Rory raced in the door.

"Well I can see that fancy college of yours taught you some excellent language skills." A voice drifted from the back of the room, "so did you like the book?" ***
Short, I know, but it seemed like a good stopping place. I'll try and get another chapter up soon.
Mwa!
