AT THE DINER

Tristan walked in and ordered two hamburgers and two coffees. While the burgers where cooking Luke and Tristan started to talk.

"So why did you decide to come back into Rory's life now?" Luke had been wondering this since he first saw Tristan but he had never had the chance to ask.

"Well I've having dinner every Friday with Emily and Richard Gilmore and they told me what had happened. And so I just decided to come and see how she was. I thought that she might need a friend around. I know that she has Lane but Lane has Henry and so I don't know. I was just worried about her."

"Well I think that it's great that you've offered to take Rory and Little Lorelai away. I better go get those burgers."

Luke walked out the back and came back a few minutes later with two takeaway burgers and coffees.

"Here you go." Luke handed them over.

"Thanks" Tristan said and put the money on the counter and left.

AT THE PARK

Rory was sitting under a tree. She'd picked up a book to read while she was waiting for Tristan. But she had no idea what she was reading. She wasn't able to concentrate on the words. There was too much going on in her head. Why does Tristan want me to go away with him? I know we're friends but I hadn't seen him in ages and then one day he showed up at my window and was offering to take my daughter and I on a holiday anywhere in the world that we want.

"Rory, I've got our food."

Rory was pulled out of her thoughts by Tristan's voice. Tristan sat down next to her and gave her her share of the food and coffee.

"What were you thinking about?" Tristan asked as he took a bite of his burger.

"I was just thinking about how amazing it is that we didn't see each other for ages and then you show up at my window and offer to take me and Little Lorelai on a holiday."

"Yeh well like I said I've been spending time with your grandparents and I've learnt a lot about you through them and I was really concerned about you so I decided to come and see you. And then I realized how many things there were around this place that would remind you of Jess so I thought that maybe if I took you guys away you might start to feel better."

"Tristan you are so caring." Rory gave Tristan a hug. God I love her. DuGrey stop it.

Rory and Tristan ate the rest of their food in silence and then walked back to the house. It was starting to get late so Tristan decided he should get going. When they got back to the house he said goodbye and left.
