Snow began to fall as Lorelai headed out her door toward Luke's. If snow meant anything it meant a nice warm cup of coffee! But then again with Lorelai every day meant coffee.
Luke looked up and smiled as Lorelai walked into his diner. It was a brisk winter day and she had nothing but a jean jacket and a thin scarf around her neck. She of course had a beanie on, but it was up to far on her head to do anything more then make a fashion statement.
"You do realize that it is 22 degrees out don't you?" Luke told Lorelai as he looked at her outfit.
"Yes Luke, but fashion and Gap know no season; they only know that I must always look adorable come snow or shine."
Luke rolled his eyes and grabbed a mug from behind the counter. He knew Lorelai so well hat sometimes it was just plain scary. "So where's your mini-me Lorelai at this morning, isn't she home for break."
Lorelai waved her hand in the air, "oh she's off to the Bahamas with her grandparents for the holidays, apparently Pina Coladas on the beach are more tempting then your turkey dinner Luke, you should be furious."
Luke knew that behind Lorelai's joking she was really sad that her daughter wouldn't be home for the holidays. He laughed to himself as he remembered the girls trying to eat at everyone's Thanksgivings the year before so that they wouldn't offend anyone.
"So Luke it will just be me this year, table for one, you can just put a big frowny face on my mashed potatoes, and I will cry into my yams."
Just as Luke was about to respond his phone rang. "I better take this, watch the counter will ya?" Lorelai looked around at the empty diner, "I think I can handle it."
"Thanks" said Luke, and off he headed into the kitchen to take the call.
Lorelai sat at the counter and looked out at the snow, it was so beautiful so peaceful."I can't, I have a business to run.but.but.fine, yeah, okay tomorrow bye."
So much for peaceful; thought Lorelai as she heard Luke hollering from the kitchen.
Luke came out and slammed the phone down. "Uh oh trouble in paradise with Mrs. Danes?" said Lorelai assuming it was Nicole on the phone.
"Her and I are past trouble, I give up.that was my Aunt Jane from up north, she wants me to come up there for the holidays, my Uncle Mitch is pretty sick."
"No! Luke you can't leave me all alone on Thanksgiving, that's just depressing!"
"Well.why don't you come with me, it could be fun, an old fashioned Thanksgiving."
Lorelai jumped out of her chair and ducked under the counter.
"What?" said Luke
"I was just watching out for the sky to fall, because Luke Danes just said fun, old and Thanksgiving all in the same sentence."
"Fine, don't come I don't care."
"No, no I want to, it would be fun! I'll go pack right now"
So off she went home to pack for what would surely be an interesting Thanksgiving dinner.
