He had planned this for many weeks now. The preparation (mentally and materialistically) was complete, the setting was laid out, and all that was needed now was her presence. He heard her footsteps echoing up the stairs and he tried to calm himself down to perform the task he had so eloquently planned out.

She knocked softly at his door and entered without really waiting for a response. She was a little curious and excited about the evening ahead of her, Luke had slipped, or rather she had coaxed it out of him, that this evening was something special. Her eyes widened as she entered the room and a smile crept onto her face. The room was bathed gently incandle lightand the table was set for two. She breathed in deeply and the wonderful aroma of Luke's cooking filled her. He swept her off her feet and into his arms kissing her gently before setting her down in one of the chairs at the table. They ate, talked and laughed for 45 minutes and when they were finally finished Luke was kneeling down before her.

He was so nervous as he pulled the ring out of his pocket. They had been friends for the past nine years, and lovers for the past year. They had shared the ups and downs of their lives, confided in each other, cared for one another, bickered over countless topics, laughed, cried, and loved. They were best friends and now he wanted to make her his wife.
"Lorelai Gilmore, you mean everything in the world to me. We have shared so many things in our lives together, you are my best friend, and I love you... Will you marry me?"
(Silence)
"I……I'm sorry…I...I have to go"
She quickly got up and was out the door before he had a change stop her. She exited the diner and was swiftly home and pacing her empty house deep in thought.
Suddenly Lorelai's perfectly sturdy and happy world had been turned upside down and shaken. She knew she was in love with Luke, but marriage? She hadn't even thought about it yet…Well, maybe a little…from time to time…at night…in the mornings…after dinner…
Oh God I have been thinking about this! ...Do I really want this though? ...Oh no he's probably crushed…what am I doing? Am I really this cruel and stupid? You love him Lorelai Gilmore, LOVE! You've never been in love with any of them before…but marriage, it's so serious… so final…so, FOREVER…Oh man, forever's a LONG time…hmmm…
Before she knew it she was home and instead doing what she really knew in her heart that she should do; go back to Luke's and talking it over; she pulled a classic Lorelai, pushed it out of her mind and went upstairs to bed. She knew it was wrong, she could feel her heart breaking already over what she had just done.
However sleep was not something that accompanied her to bed. She tossed and turned, unable to turn her thought train off for the night. She kept reaching out for Luke, only to be painfully reminded that he wasn't there.

After Lorelai had left his apartment it took awhile for the shock to wear of and the truth to settle in. He was so hurt and angry and a whole other bunch of emotions he hated to think about and certainly hated feeling. He didn't know what to do so he just turned off the lights and went to bed.
However once in bed he couldn't manage to fall asleep. The events from the night wouldn't stop replaying in his head like a horror movie. He couldn't believe he was going to have to face life without her. He knew he would never love someone the way he loved her and the thought overwhelmed him so, that tears actually started to stream down his face. He needed her so badly, he rolled over to take her in his arms only to remember, she wasn't there.
