Chapter 15: Blueberries, for Waterbury

Late Saturday morning Lorelai walked into the diner. She spotted Luke at the counter, bent over an order form adding up a customers check. She sat down at a stool near Luke and said, "Hey."

Luke looked up, smiled and responded, "Hey." He looked around then asked, "Rory's not with you?"

"Naw, she had to meet some kids at school, for a project."

"Coffee?"

When Lorelai nodded, Luke reached under the counter and produced a mug, sitting it in front of her. He turned around, grabbed the coffee pot off the warmer and began to fill the mug.

As he poured the coffee, Lorelai noticed the bandage covering the hand that held the pot. "Luke what happened to your hand?" She asked concerned.

Luke shook his head and replied, "I was working in the back yesterday afternoon, when a can of peaches fell off the top shelf and hit my hand."

"Ouch," Lorelai said. "Is it bad?"

Luke returned the pot to the warmer. "No, just a couple of stitches."

"Oh, Luke, I'm so sorry."

Luke shrugged and said, "Thanks. I got the blueberry pancakes this morning. You want some?"

Lorelai frowned. "No sorry, I don't have time. I have to drive to Waterbury. But I will have a blueberry muffin."

Luke nodded as he retrieved a plate for the muffin, "You got it."

After he sat the muffin in front of Lorelai, Luke made the rounds with the coffee pot and a pitcher of water. When he returned to the counter Lorelai, said, "So about yesterday…"

"What?"

"I just hope that Colin showing up didn't make you uncomfortable."

Luke shook his head. "No. Why should it?"

"I don't know."

"I mean I don't care who you date."

When Lorelai looked at him funny, Luke said, "I mean you should date who ever you want, as long as they make you happy."

Lorelai eyes unfocused as she smiled dreamily, and said, "He does."

There was a frown in Luke's eyes as he said, "Well, good… That's… Really… Aaa… Good."
