It's a couple of days before Thanksgiving and Stars Hollow is ready to celebrate. Rory and Jess are back in town for the holidays and are still as happy as ever. Lorelai is still in Europe and nobody is really sure when she will be returning. Lorelai speaks to Luke often on the phone and he tells her about everything going on in Stars Hollow, Lorelai tells him about Europe and all the stories her Aunt Hoppie has told her. Both of them cherish these conversations and both notice how they are falling in love with each other. Neither has said anything to one another but both have decided to tell the other person when Lorelai returns home. Luke kept all of his promises with Lorelai, paying the lawn guy, taking care of her car and letting Max in so he could move out. Luke wanted to kill him the entire time he was there and made sure he took everything of his and the things Lorelai wanted gone. He was very glad when he got to show Max out and he then told Max what he really thought of him and Max let him. Max's only response was that he wanted Luke to take care of her for him. Luke said he would but it wouldn't be for him it would be for her. With that Max left and he was never seen in Stars Hollow again.

Diner- Luke is wiping the counter and the bell rings he doesn't look up considering he only did that when he thought Lorelai was going to come in but his head immediately shoots up when he hears her voice

"Well it's official, I am now divorced let's celebrate"

"Lorelai … what are you doing here"

"I decided it was time to come home"

"I'm glad your back"

"Me too it's good to be home"

"It wasn't the same without you"

"Oh I highly doubt that"

"Well it's true, we all missed you, I missed you"

"Well I missed you too"

Luke and Lorelai exchange a smile

"So have you spoken to Jess?"

"Yes I have, he's part of the reason why I am here"

"Really?"

"Yes he said he wanted me to be here when he asked Rory and needed my help to pick out the ring"

"Yeah Jess sucks at picking out jewelry"

"Yeah I know and besides I wanted to be here for when my daughter gets engaged"

"It's hard to believe that they could be getting married"

"I know"

"They are so young"

"Yes they are"

"Do you think there too young?"

"No I think that they found the person that they wanted to spend the rest of their life with and who they see their future with and I think that if they found it then they shouldn't wait because they could miss out on so much it they do"

"Yeah I guess your right"

"So do you know when he is going to ask?"

"He told me when he thought the moment was right, he wasn't gong to plan something fancy but he wasn't going to be completely spontaneous with it either"

"I guess he figured that that didn't work for two people he knew"

"Yeah he must want it to last"

"Yeah"

"So um not to change the subject but here's you key back'

"Oh no I don't need that back"

"What"

"You keep it"

"You sure"

"Yeah I'm sure I want you to have it you never know when you might need it"

"So what are your plans for Thanksgiving"

"Well I have to go to dinner at my parents house and Sookie is probably going to want me to stop by and then I always come here so I basically am going to be all over the place Thursday so I hope you took good care of my car."

"Your car is in better condition then before you left"

"Good that's what I wanted to hear"

"So how was your trip, did you accomplish what you wanted"

"Yes I did, I figured out what I am going to do with my life"

"Which is"

"I am going to do everything that I gave up when I was with Max"

"Really"

"Yes I am going to open up my Inn"

"Well that's great"

"Yeah and you know what I am not going to give up on my dream of having a family I mean I am only thirty seven years old I have plenty of time to get married again"

"Yes you do"

"And I have decided that I am not going to let my divorce get me down"

"Well I'm glad you feel that way"

"Well I have to be going I want to tell Sookie about the Inn and then I want to see if the Dragonfly is still available but um I kinda wanted to talk to you about something um is there any chance I could see you later"

"Um yeah I mean are you sure you can't talk to me now?"

"It's not exactly diner talk it's more serous"

"All right well uh I'm closing up early tonight so how about I meet you around then"

"Okay um I'll find you"

"See ya later"

"Bye"

Town Square- Luke is locking the door of the diner when Lorelai sees him

"Hey they stranger"

"Hi, how was your first day back home"

"Well everybody was really happy to see me and towards the end I was a little sick of it but they all mean well. Sookie is so excited about the Inn and she can't wait to get started."

"That's good"

"How was the Diner?"

"Same as always nothing new there"

"Oh well I guess that's not so bad I mean it's good that it's reliable"

"Yeah I guess so "

"It's a nice night tonight"

"Yes it is"

"I forgot how nice nights like these were here"

"Well they don't compare to the ones in Europe I'm sure"

"No these are different then the ones in Europe but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are worse"

"Lorelai why did you want to talk to me"

"Well you know how I told you that my Aunt Hoppie, the woman I went to visit would tell me all these stories about events that happened in her life"

"Yeah"

"Well she told me this story about her and this guy friend, named James, she had when she first moved to Europe. He was the first person she meet when she moved there and they were instantly friends. They did everything together, were always there when they needed one another. They were friends for like eight years when James got a job offer and was going to move back to the states. My Aunt had this hopeless crush on him this whole time and desperately wanted him to ask her out but he never got the message. When le left she told herself she was going to try to do something to let him know that she loved him and wanted to be with him but she never got the opportunity to let him know how she felt. She said she regretted it for the rest of her life. She told me even if she had done something like wrote him a letter or kissed him maybe things would have turned out differently for her. My Aunt never married. As she told me this story she reminded me of myself and got me thinking and I realized that I myself was in the same situation. She told me not to make the same mistake she had"

"Then don't, learn from your Aunt if there is something that you want then you should do whatever is possible to get it"

As soon as Luke stops talking Lorelai kisses him passionately. Her arms immediately go around his neck with her pulling him close. Luke is startled for a second but then reacts by wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer while kissing her back. After a few moments they both pull away and Luke reacts to what has just happened"

"What was that?"

"You told me to learn from my Aunt and that if there was something that I wanted that I should do whatever it was to get it. I want you and I know you want me too."

Luke then pulls Lorelai towards him and kisses her again. He pulls her closer to him by the waist as Lorelai wraps her arms again around his neck and slowly moves them down to his shoulders, while Luke moves his hands from Lorelai's waist, up her back and into her hair, they then pull away to catch their breath. Lorelai reacts to the kiss.

" Wow"

"You were right"

"I was?"

" I do want you, I always have and I always will"

"As do I"

" I was going to tell you how I felt when you came home but you beat me to the point."

"Well you know what they say, Great minds think alike"

Luke laughs silently and then Luke and Lorelai share another kiss first starting out soft and then slowly getting more and more passionate. They stay like that for a few minutes and they break apart.

" Just so you know Luke I think I've found the one I was meant to evolve with in the first place."

"Well as long as we are confessing things to one another then I must tell you that I think I have found the one I was originally meant to evolve with as well"

"Well isn't that interesting"

" Yeah ironic isn't it"

" As much as I would like to continue this here I think it would be best if we move this somewhere else before Ms.Patty or Taylor catches us"

"Yeah I really don't want this to be the main headline in tomorrows newspaper"

'My though exactly"

"So where do you want to move this to"

" Lets go to my place, Rory is staying at Lane's tonight but Jess is going to be at your apartment tonight"

"Your place it is"

And on that note Luke and Lorelai started a great romance. They weren't all mushy like a lot of couples. They both were still themselves. Luke being grumpy and slightly annoyed at the town and Lorelai always on a coffee high. They kept up their usual banter that they always had and secretly mocked the town more specifically Taylor. The only difference was that they finally admitted their feelings for each other and both of them were happier then they had been in their whole adult lives.
