He reached his hand up to cup her check his thumb brushing away a few tears that managed to escape. Lorelai closed her eyes slightly leaning into his hand. Her tears now flowing freely she bit down on her bottom lip trying to keep from crying.

"Come here" Luke said pulling her into his arms. Cradling her against his chest gently running his hand up and down her back. When her sobs started to slow he pulled back slightly so he could look at her.

"I'm not going anywhere. You know that right?" he asked as he wiped the last of her tears away.

"What about Rachel? I'm sure she doesn't want me around. And I'm pretty sure she wouldn't want you to be here alone with me. I mean I know I wouldn't want some crazy lady hanging around you all the time if you uh I mean if we were umm if I was your girlfriend." She trailed off looking at his chest not wanting to meet his eyes.

"It doesn't matter what Rachel thinks" he said titling her head up forcing her to look him in the eye. She pushed back from him. Looking at him as if he had just grown another head.

"Oh yes it does. Damn it Luke. How can you say it doesn't matter what she thinks? She's your girlfriend" now she was really starting to get pissed off. How could he just pretend like she doesn't matter? How could he just brush her aside like that? Would he do it to her one day? That is if they ever had a chance to be together. She looks up to see him smiling at her. Why the hell is he smiling?

"What are you smiling at?" she asks in a harsh whisper. His smile disappears as he realizes he's really upset her now.

"Nothing I umm I have something I think I need to show you" he pulls the small envelope out of his back pocket as he leads her over to the couch. Once she's seated he takes a seat next to her.

"Here I think this might explain a few things." He hands her the envelope watching her as she opens it. And begins to read the short note

"When did uh when did you get this?" she looks up searching his eyes

"About an hour ago" Luke says with a shrug looking away from her.

"I'm so sorry I thought she was here to stay" she pulls his face to hers in what she meant to be just a soft peck of reassurance but it quickly turned it something more. She slowly pulled away panting slightly.

"Sorry" she said in a breathless whisper her breath tickling across his face.

"What for?" he asks with a smile before he captures her lips again.

The End?
