Thank you so, so, so, so, so much to the four people that reviewed my fanfic. You are all so fantastic! This is the end of this fanfic. I had so much fun writing it. I received valuable reviews that have helped me. Although Jess has left the show (forever! Sob, sob) I still have a soft spot for him. I think his character is really interesting because there is a lot left to be unraveled. I do think that he does love Rory. Once again, thanks for the reviews! Bye!

Chapter 5:

Rory stood at the front of the bookstore, holding onto the piece of paper that had on it the directions.

She took a deep breath to try and steady her nerves. It didn't work. Every time Rory saw Jess, without fail, she suddenly felt as though she were giddy and a teenager again.

The inside of the bookstore was furnished in a roomy, comfy feel. It almost felt like a library. Rory smiled when she saw Jess speaking to a customer.

"Yes, I enjoyed this book. It actually won a prestigious American award and came highly recommended. You say you're interested in this genre? Why don't you settle down over there and read it for a few minutes? Let me know what you think and get back to me,"

Rory liked how the bookstore was run. Customers weren't pressured into buying anything straight away, and they could even get recommendations on good books.

Jess turned around and caught sight of her.

"Hey," He said, grinning.

"Hi," Replied Rory. She smiled uncertainly.

"Your bookstore is really going well, I can see. Any good books come in recently?" She inquired. Rory swung her shoulder bag over her head and set it down on a small couch. "Sure. If you come with me to the back, there's a huge variety of stock that just came in. Maybe you could – "

Jess was interrupted when Rory planted a gentle kiss on him.

"What was that for?" He said, genuinely surprised.

"Well...you've changed, since I last saw you. And that change? Well, I think it was a good one," She planted another kiss.

"But - I thought - what if - " Jess was mystified. Wasn't Rory the one who suggested they take a break for her to think over things?

Rory couldn't think of any way to tell Jess what had happened. After a motherly daughterly talk with Lorelai, she had things cleared up. Lorelai approved of their relationship, as did Luke. Everything had worked out just fine with as little drama as Rory had hoped for.

"Have you read this book?" Rory suddenly asked.

"What?" Jess exclaimed. Why the change of subject?

"It's about two people, who love each other. The trouble is, they think they're related in a way and so their relationship won't work. But their relationship was accepted, and..." Rory trailed off.

"What?" Demanded Jess.

"That's all that really matters," Rory said simply.

Author's Note: I am dedicating this fanfic to the people who reviewed my fanfic: vetgirl113, Mel.K, agent1332, Nice-one, smile1, Jesse's babe...and to the people who are yet to review. Although this sounds really corny, the reviews mean a lot to me and are read carefully. Thanks!
