"How did you find me?" Lorelai asked looking up at Luke.

"I searched all the coffee houses in this town and the next." Luke replied.

Lorelai smiled. "Well I am predictable."

"No you're not." Luke replied. "Far from it."

Lorelai looked down at her coffee. "It's not as good as yours you know." She said.

"Thanks." Luke smiled. "Look... Lorelai, about the other day..."

"I've thought about it." Lorelai interrupted. "I've made up my mind."

Luke paused. "You have?" Oh god, she's going to move away again. Luke sat down in front of her ready for the worst.

"Everything I've done since Chris died has lead to more and more problems. Obviously my way isn't working. I thought I could take control and handle things, but I can't. So let's try your way."

"My way?" Luke repeated. Lorelai shook her head. "You mean..." Luke smiled it was the first real happiness he had felt in so long. "Are you sure?"

"I am." Lorelai replied. "I do love you Luke Danes. I am afraid of it, but I know I'll never overcome it."

"You don't have to be afraid." Luke gently replied.

"Well Colleen, as long as you promise to not over do it, you're free to go home." the doctor replied.

"I promise." Colleen smiled.

"Alright then. Come back by in a few weeks and let me check up on you."

"You got it." Colleen replied.

You wont have to worry about me doc. Colleen thought to herself as she left the hospital. She made it to her destination within a few short minutes she called Luke's and got no answer, but did receive his voice mail oh well, that would just have to do.

"Luke... it's me... Colleen. I know Lorelai is back. I can't stand the thought of being rejected so horribly.." Colleen's calm voice turned to sobbing. "I love you Luke Danes..." POW!

"Marry me Lorelai..." Luke said reaching into his shirt pocket and pulling out the engagement ring he gave to her on Christmas, the same one she gave back to him 3 weeks later.

"Did you have this planned?" Lorelai asked stunned to see the ring.

"No..." he replied. "I've carried it with me every day since I left Stars Hollow. It's the only part of you I had to hold on to."

"Luke if you cared so much, why did you leave?" Lorelai asked.

"Because I couldn't stand the thought of being around you and not being able to have you."

Lorelai sniffled. "Yes Luke... I will marry you."

The two leaned over across the table and kissed. Wow Lorelai had missed that kiss. Luke slid the ring onto her finger.

"Don't take it off this time." Luke smiled.

"I never will." Lorelai grinned.

Luke and Lorelai left the coffee shop, Luke was feeling like a brand new man, and Lorelai was feeling like her luck had finally turned around. Finally an end to the drama. As they crossed the street, they were almost run over by a rushing ambulance and police car.

"What the hell!" Luke replied.

Lorelai gazed at the police car and ambulance... "Luke they're going towards my house."

Luke and Lorelai hurriedly got into Luke's truck and headed towards Lorelai's house.

"Oh god... please don't let it be Rory." Luke said as they drove.

"It can't be." Lorelai replied. "She isn't home... she went to the library."

When Lorelai's house came into view, sure enough that's where the chaos was happening.

"Oh my god!" Lorelai gasped. "What's going on."

They both ran towards her home fearing the absolute worst, suddenly a police officer stopped them.

"I'm sorry ma'am but you can go in there."

"Are you crazy? This is my house!" Lorelai screamed. "What happened? Where's Rory!"

"This is your house?" the man asked.

"Did I stutter the first time?" Lorelai snapped.

"Come with me please." The man replied pulling her aside. Luke followed them. "Ma'am, do you know a Colleen Andrews?"

"Who?" Lorelai replied not recognizing who the officer was speaking about.

"Oh god." Luke replied. "What happened?"

"You know her sir?" the officer directed towards Luke.

"Oh that Colleen..." Lorelai replied.

"She broke into you house." The officer began. "A neighbor called 911 after claiming to hear a loud gunshot."

Lorelai's face stiffened.

"She's shot herself on your living room floor." the officer said sympathetically.
