Like Wildfire

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls. If I did, Lorelai would be sharing Luke with me. I'm just playing with them for a bit and promise to return them relatively unscathed.
A series of vignettes about how people found out our favorite couple got back together.
Part 1: Babette
I stand at my darkened porch looking at Lorelai's front door. Oh, that poor girl. And poor Luke, too. They are so miserable without each other. Luke, of course, is going bankrupt with all the business that he's chasing away. Kirk is the only one brave (or maybe stupid) enough to keep going to Luke's. Of course he really loves Luke. In fact, if he weren't seriously dating Lulu, I'd be a little concerned for him. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but Luke definitely does not swing that way, and Kirk does not need more rejection in life than he's already gotten. But anyways, Kirk has eaten every meal there for the past week. The worse Luke's cooking gets, the more Kirk raves about it. It's really kind of sweet.
Lorelai is suffering just as much as Luke. Oh, I know that the town thinks that she's got it together, but it's just an act. That girl has been my neighbor for twelve years now, and I can tell you her spark is gone. Oh, she walks around town is new clothes drinking her coffee acting like she's moving on, but I see her everyday when she's by herself. She's just as miserable as he is. When Luke came and got that boat from her garage it looked like her whole world had fallen apart again. I just wish that I could get the two of them in a room together for a half an hour. I know that's all it would take before all that sexual tension that they've both been repressing explodes like a volcano. Patty and I have been trying to think of places we could "accidentally" lock them in together, but nothing good has come up yet.
I take a moment and glance at the road and I see a familiar figure stalking up the road in his army jacket and backwards baseball cap. My heart palpitates! It's Luke, and he's finally gotten his head out of his ass and is making a move! I suppress a squeal and squat down to hide behind the porch rails. (I can move pretty stealthy for an old broad if I do say so myself).
At this moment, Morey comes out looking for me on the porch. "Babe, are you out here?"
I tug on his arm and bring him down to the porch floor with me. I cover his mouth with my hand and look over to see if Luke heard anything. Morey follows my gaze and his eyes widen as he sees what's going on.
Luke is now on her porch, just standing at the door taking deep breaths. I quietly make my way off of the porch so that I can get a better view of the door when Lorelai answers. Morey follows me. (He's pretty stealthy too).
"Come on, you big dope. Knock!" I whisper to myself, as he continues to just stand there. He finally knocks and my heart starts beating even faster. A few seconds later, Lorelai opens the door. She looks shocked to see Luke there, but before she can say anything he strides into house, takes her into his arms and starts kissing her. I grab Morey's hand in excitement and give a little yelp. Lorelai is kissing him back. She frees one hand long enough to close the door, but I can still see their silhouettes kissing through the window. I feel like I'm going to burst from excitement. I turn to Morey, pull him down and give him a big kiss. I run into the house, pick up the phone and dial a familiar number.
"Patty, you are not going to believe what just happened!"
