"Hi." Chris answered as she opened the door. It took a minute for Lorelei to regain her senses and step aside allowing him to come in.
"Chris, what are you doing here?" she asked as she followed him into the living room.
"I came to pay visit to the famous Gilmore Girls." He replied noticing Luke for the first time. "Hey there, I think we've met before. Luke right?" He asked extending his hand to which Luke shook wordlessly.
"Chris, its 11:00 at night." Lorelei reminded him trying to avoid any awkward explanations.
"I know, traffic was crazy." He answered as if it were completely normal. "I tried to check into the Inn but..." he let the sentence trail off
"You can't just show up like this." Luke could sense how anxious and annoyed she was and decided to make his exit then.
"Hey, I think I better go." He told her quietly.
"I'll walk you out." She said following him to the door and out onto the porch. "Luke, I'm really sorry.... I had no idea... he just came... I... I"
"Hey, it's ok; I know you had no idea. I trust you." He told her as he pulled her into his arms trying to wash away the felling in stomach that something bad was coming. "Look, you take care of what ever is going on with him and I'll see you in the morning." He told her as she kissed her sweetly.
"How did I get this lucky?" she asked him as she kissed him again. "I'm really sorry." She knew what was coming when she went inside.
"I know, I understand, he has nowhere else to go." Luke answered less sure that he was putting on.
"First light he's gone. I promise." Lorelei said in a dead serious tone. "He better sleep in his clothes otherwise he's going with out them. Seriously it will be a sight, front page 'Man gets the boot, naked'"she continued until Luke silenced her with a kiss.
"I believe it!" Luke laughed. "See you in the morning" Lorelei watched him drive away while mustering the strength to go back in and face Chris. She took several deep breaths before returning to the living room where Chris was standing exactly where she left him.
