Author's Note: Obviously, this is the Jess ending. This is, perhaps, the more romantic ending, some might say. At any rate, this one's for the Lit fans!
ALTERNATE ENDING
Rory's palms were sweaty as she checked her rearview mirror.
"Come on, come on!" she muttered to the cars in front of her. "Move it!" She checked her watch again.
"Ugh, finally!" she said, pulling into the parking lot. She ran inside.
Rory scanned the list. "Oh God, they're boarding!" She started toward the escalator.
"Miss, where's your boarding pass?"
"My what? Oh, crap," Rory said. "Wait!" She reached in her purse to find the ticket and ran to e-check-in.
Jess shifted in his seat. It was obvious that Rory wasn't coming; he should have known better.
"Excuse me, sir, is this seat taken?" a woman said.
"It would have been, but…Rory?" Jess said, looking up. He actually smiled.
Rory sat down and tugged on her shirt, looking at him nervously.
"You came!" Jess said, incredulously.
"What can I say? Someone needs to show you around Europe. You really must do it properly," she said in her poshest voice.
There was an excited pause. They both started to speak, but Rory gestured to Jess, indicating that he should go first.
"So…have you ever heard of the Mile High Club?" he asked mischievously.
Rory just gave him a look and pulled out a magazine from the seat in front of her. "Shush, I'm reading my SkyMall."
"Can I borrow it?" asked Jess.
"What, so you can make notes in the margins?" Rory teased.
"No," said Jess, pulling the magazine out of her hands, "so I can do this..." and with that, he kissed her.
