Lorelai looks over at Yvonne who has not said a word since they got in the car at Luke's. "If you want to talk about what happened I'm here for you, you know."

Yvonne glances at Lorelai. "That was Charlie."

"I got that much but who is he to you?" Lorelai doesn't take her eyes off the road.

"Charlie and I lived together." Yvonne was looking straight a head.

A look of surprise flashed over Lorelai's face "You lived together. For how long? Do mom and dad know?"

Yvonne turned sideways in her seat to face Lorelai. "We've been together since we were 15, we met in boarding school, and once we graduated we started traveling." Yvonne smiled as she remembered traveling with Charlie. "We moved to New York about 2 or 3 years ago."

Lorelai looked at her sister for a second. "Wow, you have this whole other life." Lorelai turned her attention back to the road. "You never answered on of my questions, do mom and dad know?"

"They know. When I told them that Charlie and I were going to live together, I thought they were going to have heart attacks." Yvonne laughed slightly as she remembered.

"When you moved to New York that where you met Jess, right?"

"Yea, he lived in the apartment next to us."

"Why did you tell him your name was Yvonne Gill?" Lorelai asked.

"I don't know. It's just something I did." Yvonne turned and looked out the window.

"What happened between you and Charlie?" Lorelai asked with concern in her voice.

Yvonne continued to look out the window. "Charlie and I broke up." tears filled Yvonne's eyes.

They pulled into they're parents driveway at that moment and Yvonne jumped out of the car and went right into the house. Lorelai sat for a moment before following Yvonne. Lorelai walked into the house and found Yvonne and they're mother talking in the hall.

"Hey mom, I just came to pick up some of my stuff." Yvonne looked around "Where is it?"

"It's in your room." Emily smiled as Yvonne ran up the stairs.

Lorelai walk over to her mother. "Mom do you think we could talk for a minute?"

"Of course Lorelai, what would you like to talk about?" Emily asked as she began walking to the living room.

~~~****~~~

Yvonne entered her old room and looked around. "It's still the same," she muttered as her cell phone rang. "Hello?"

"Hey you! I've missed you!"

"Max!" Yvonne couldn't help but smile. "How are you?"

"I'm better now that I hear your voice. I would be even better if I could see you?"

"Give me about 20 minutes."

"I'll see you then, bye."

"Bye." Yvonne smiled.

"Mom why did you send Yvonne away all those years ago?" Lorelai asked as she sat down across from her mother.

"Lorelai you know why. We didn't want her to see what happened to and repeat it." Emily looked away from Lorelai. "She looked up to you and she wanted to be just like you."

Lorelai watched her mother. "But mom I left home after Rory was born and you left Yvonne in boarding school, why?"

Emily looked at Lorelai angrily "Why are you asking all these questions? It was so many years ago,"

"I'm asking because my sister thinks she was sent away because you didn't love her enough to keep her."

Yvonne walked into the room at the moment. "What's going on?" Yvonne asked see the angry looks on her mother and sister faces.

"Lorelai was just informing me that you don't feel loved." Emily says bitterly.

Yvonne turned and looks at Lorelai. "Why?"

"I'm sorry but the more I thought about it the more I need to know why." Lorelai got up and started walking toward Yvonne. "I'm so sorry for breaking you confidence in me."

Yvonne took a few steps back and looked between Lorelai and her mother. "Is this how you really feel?" Emily asked. Yvonne looked at her mother not knowing what to say. "Yvonne I asked you a question. I expect an answer."

"I have to go." Yvonne said a she turned and ran out of the room.

Lorelai ran after Yvonne "Yvonne wait!" Lorelai called. Lorelai reached Yvonne as she got in her car. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see an old friend." Yvonne started the car as Lorelai watched.

"Let's talk about this." Lorelai pleaded.

"We'll talk when I get back." Yvonne looked Lorelai in the eye "I promise. I'll meet you at Luke's." Yvonne didn't wait for a response before she drove away.

~~~****~~~

Yvonne walked up the step to the front door and rang the doorbell. Yvonne smiled brightly as Max opened the door; Max smiled just as brightly seeing Yvonne. Max steps forward and hugs Yvonne.

"I've missed you." Max whispers in her ear.

"I've missed you too." Yvonne pulls away from Max and they enter his house.

Across the street Lorelai watches Yvonne and Max and wonders if there is more there than Yvonne said.
