" Rory? Are you okay honey?" Jess asked rushing over to where the
love of his life was falling apart.
" The memories." Was all Rory was able to say. The tears were overwhelming.
" Your mom?" Jess asked gently.
"And..you." Rory responded through tears.
" Oh." Jess stated softly. "Ror, please don't cry. Listen, your mom's death is a horrible thing, but you have to move on. Now I don't mean to forget about her, because I don't want that at all. I just mean to regain your life again. About me.what I said was cruel and hurtful and all the words can't express how sorry I am. The only thing I have to give you is this." Jess kneeled down and took out a small box.
" Rory, will you please marry me?" Jess asked slowly.
Rory focused her eyes on Jess'. " Marry me?" she asked surprised.
" Yes. This morning before I came here.I went to the jewelers. I knew Rory, for a long time, that I was a fool for loosing you. I don't ever want to be alone. I don't ever want to be without you. Please say yes." Jess said earnestly.
Rory stared at him. " Yes, yes I'll marry you." Rory stated jumping up from the kitchen chair and kissing Jess square on the lips.
" You don't know how happy that makes me." Jess said grinning from ear to ear once their lips parted.
" Yes I do, because I'm just as happy.if more." Rory said as a small tear rolled down her cheek. Jess gently brushed it away.
" I have to go tell Lane. After that why don't we go get some breakfast?" Rory asked standing up.
" Sure.I'd like that. I'll wait here." Jess said sitting down over on the couch.
" Okay.I won't be long."
*************************
Lane was sitting in her bed reading a Rolling Stones magazine when the phone rang.
"Hello?" She asked keeping her gaze still on an article in the magazine.
" Lane?" Rory asked keeping her excitement down.
"Rory! How are you doing sweetie?" Lane asked excitedly. She hadn't gotten a phone call from Rory in a while.
" I am SOOO good. Guess what!"
" What what?!" Lane asked still excited.
" Jess came and we talked.and he asked me to marry him!" Rory stated jumping up and down in her room.
" WOW! That is amazing!!!!!!!!" Lane stated standing up.
" Yeah, hey I got to go. I still have to get dressed and Jess is waiting for me to go to breakfast." Rory said hurriedly.
" Okay bye!" Lane responded and hung up. She just sat on her bed.thinking. Her best friend was getting married, and Lorelei wouldn't be there to see her change her last name.
