"So, I haven't seen you in awhile. What have you been up to?" Rory asked trying to make small talk.

"Yeah. I've been really busy."

"Oh yeah, me too." Well, she didn't want to seem desperate or anything. "Did you have a nice weekend?"

"It was okay."

She was getting really tired of Logan's non-responsiveness. "You were clubbing, right?"

Logan hesitated, clearly uncomfortable. "Yeah. How'd you know that?"

Rory rolled her eyes. "I called you Saturday afternoon and I was greeted by your weekend itinerary. Not a very smart idea. What if I was a stalker? I could have easily tracked you down. But, I digress. Why didn't you return any of my calls?"

"It's not like I didn't want to call you back. I meant to, I just never got to it. I'm sorry. I'm a jerk."

She shook her head. "Forget it. That's not the reason I came here anyway."

"Okay, why are you here then?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I was wrong and you were right."

Logan smiled. "Well Ace, I must admit I do like the sound of that. But what, pray tell, was I right about? You're going to have to be more specific since it happens so often."

"Do you remember the conversation we had at my grandparent's wedding?"

She rolled her eyes at the sight of Logan's smile broadening. "Well, to be honest with you, when I think about that night, I don't exactly think about the conversation."

Feeling herself blush, Rory shook her head to try to focus on the task at hand. "Logan, come on. I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you."

He raised his hands in mock surrender. "Okay, okay sorry. Now what specifically was I right about that night?"

Rory took a deep breath. "I'm not a no strings kind of girl. I had just broken up with Dean and I was devastated. All I knew was that I didn't want to feel like that again any time soon. Then I found myself becoming more and more attracted to you and I didn't know what to do about my feelings because of my breakup with Dean. It felt like the strings were what caused all of my pain and you weren't looking for a girlfriend so the whole no strings thing felt like this amazing gift from God."

Closing the gap between them, Logan placed his hand on her cheek and used his thumb to gently stroke her cheek. Rory closed her eyes and relished the contact. "It has been amazing. I knew being with you would be great but you have far exceeded my expectations. Then again, you've always been an overachiever."

She gave him a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. He leaned in, brushed his lips against hers, and was surprised by the wetness on her face. He pulled back and was saddened to see the tears sliding down her face. Using his thumbs, he gently dried her eyes and whispered, "Ace, I don't understand what's going on. Why are you crying?"

Unfortunately, the question just caused her to cry harder. Feeling helpless, Logan gathered her up in his arms and held her until her sobs subsided. Taking a step back, she looked into his eyes and echoed the words she had said to her mother just two days before. "What did I do? Why don't you like me?"

And for the first time in his life, Logan Huntzberger felt his heart break.

A/N Sorry that I brought up the voice mail message but I felt it was totally ridiculous and it really bothered me for some reason. Anyway, I really feel the need to torment Logan right now because Rory was so devastated throughout the whole episode while he seemed to be carefree. So, I decided to torture Logan for a bit and make him feel Rory's pain before I let him off the hook. Lol. I'm so mean.
