INTERIOR - GILMORE HOUSEHOLD - NIGHT
Rory enters the pitch dark locked house. Despite its somber appearance, she hopes that someone is home.
RORY
(shouting out)
Mom? Mom? Are you here?
But her hopes unfortunately are not fulfilled. She is very much alone. She loiters a bit in the living room; thinking, stressing, worrying, deciding. Then enters her room - book-less and box-filled - because she has already moved into her dorm room on campus. She removes a few stray boxes from her bed, and without moving the covers or changing her clothes, turns off the light and goes to sleep.
