Chapter Sixteen
Fun and Fear
"I'm scared that you're going to tell me you love me and I'm not going to be able to say it back." Rory said in a rush.
Tristan pulled over to the side of the road and turned to face Rory.
"Ror, you know how I feel about you. But I'm not going to try and force you to say something you don't mean or make a committment
you're not ready for. I'd much rather wait until you say it when you mean it," Tristan said.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Thank goodness," Rory let out a sigh of relief. "Well, we'd better get going then. We've don't want to be late!"
Tristan chuckled as he turned the car back onto the road.
***Back at the Gilmore house after the date***
Rory hummed a little tune as she entered the house.
"Well, someone's happy," Lorelai commented.
"Mom! I didn't expect you to still be up."
"Are you kidding me? I had to see the outcome of your anniversary. It went well, I assume?"
"Definitely. You were right. I had nothing to worry about," Rory replied.
"That's what I thought. So things are going well then?"
"Oh yeah. Everything's perfect. Too perfect. Maybe this is a sign," Rory said with a worried expression on her face.
"How is this a sign?"
"Nothing can ever stay this good for long."
"Okay, you need to stop being so pessimistic! Don't expect bad things to happen because then they probably will," Lorelai advised
Rory.
"I know. It's just that every time something has seemed perfect between a guy and me something goes wrong. Horribly wrong."
"Rory, I am telling you this for the last time, so listen closely. Tristan is not Dean! Okay?"
"Okay," Rory said.
"You need to have a little more faith in him. He would never ever hurt you."
"That's not what I'm scared of."
"What are you scared of?" Lorelai asked.
"The fact that I care enough about him that he COULD hurt me. It's kind of scary for someone to have that kind of power over you."
"I know, sweetie. I know," Lorelai said, taking Rory into her arms.

A/N: Now that I've done all this foreshadowing and crap, I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions? I'll give you credit!
Oh, and review. :)
