:: Hello…another random chapter. Next one will be the last…and it will most likely have some Logan (what? what? That's right). Oh yeah, if some of the stuff in this chapter isn't really accurate, it's because I haven't seen every GG episode. Lol. Okay, enjoy::

Rory can't remember the first time Dean held her hand. It was somewhere between the time she "subtly" stalked him at Doose's and the time they had their first kiss. She was always amazed by Dean's hands because they were, like, 5 times larger than hers. She remembers that his hands were sweaty and nervous and awkward. Jess grabbed her hand at a Stars Hollow fest of some sort, during a very rare lull in their conversation. His hands were exactly the right size.

Dean and Rory sat at a two-person table at Luke's at 1 in the morning. It was an unusual occasion because Dean didn't particularly like the diner, he told Rory once. He was facing the town and Rory looked in the direction of the counter. Perfect. The direction of the cash register. Wonderful. Jess. Fantastic. Rory's shining bright eyes looked intently into Jess'. Dean chatted casually. Rory stared. Dean slowly covered her hand with his. Jess grinned in an ironic sort of way and shook his head.

She was never nervous with Dean. Her heart stayed at the exact same pace when she saw him coming down the street. He was nice and he made her feel nice and it was nice. When Jess' fingers grazed her cheek, she didn't feel nice. Her stomach turned over. She felt brilliant. Brilliantly scared. Jess was such a risk. Jess was her best bet.
