"So where are we going?" Lorelai asked getting restless.

"I want to surprise you and I promise it won't be that much longer." Kevin replied.

"Ok."

Lorelai tried to act happy on her date but it was really hard. Yes, It had been over a year since Luke left Starts Hollow and their relationship but she still half expected him to be sitting next to her on that date.

not Kevin. Kevin knew nothing about Lorelai except that her and Sookie owned the inn he was staying at until he could find a place in Starts Hollow.

Lorelai feels the truck stop and looks over at Kevin.

"Here we are." Kevin stated.

Oh no. It can't be. Please let this be a dream. Lorelai thought.

"Is this..."

"It's Sniffy's Tavern. I used to come here a lot when I was in town and I loved it."

He noticed Lorelai's saddened expression.

"What's wrong? Are you ok?"

Snapped out of her day dream Lorelai replied "What...oh yeah. I'm fine."

"You sure?" She nodded " Ok let's go then"

He walked around the truck and opened the door for her so she could get out.

Once they got inside Keivin went to get a table while Lorelai went to the restroom. Once she came out she ran into Macy.

"Hey..Lorelai, right?"

"Hi and yeah, its Lorelai."

"So are you here with Luke?"

I thought they would have known about him moving

"Actually Luke and I aren't together anymore." Lorelai was trying not to cry now.

" What happened?"

"Oh, it's a long story. "

"I'm sorry about that."

"Thanks but I have to get back over there. It was nice seeing you again."

"You too."

Once at the table wih Kevin they started talking. First about who Macy was because Kevin was curious then about other topics as well.

This person comes tearing into the place in a caffeine frenzy. I was with a customer. She interrupts me, wild-eyed, begging for coffee, so I tell her to wait her turn. Then she starts following me around, talking a mile a minute, saying God knows what. So finally I turn to her, and I tell her she's being annoying -- sit down, shut up, I'll get to her when I get to her. She asked me what my birthday was. I wouldn't tell her. She wouldn't stop talking. I gave in. I told her my birthday. Then she opened up the newspaper to the horoscope page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me.So I'm looking at this piece of paper in my hand, and under "Scorpio," she had written, "you will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she'll go away." I gave her coffee. She told me to hold on to that horoscope, put it in my wallet, and carry it around with me - pulls a small scrap of paper from his wallet and holds it out to Lorelai one day it would bring me luck.

Um...I can't believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet? sees his serious expression You kept this in your wallet.

Eight years.

Lorelai, this thing we're doing here -- me, you -- I just want you to know I'm in. I am all in.

Lorelai and Kevin finished dinner and he was taking her home. Lorelai was glad that she had went out with Kevin but it was just to much for her in one night. Too many memories were in Sniffy's and then that was were Kevin took her. It wasn't his fault of course because he didn't know anything about Luke other than he used to own a diner or that he had even dated Lorelai.

"Rory" Lorelai called once she got inside.

Lorelai looked in Rory's room so she figured that she was at Lane's or something. So she went upstairs to change and then she went to get some popcorn to eat. Once she got settled on the couch she turned on the tv and popped in a movie. About ten minutes into the movie she started crying. Obviously not because of the movie but because of Luke.

Rory walked in the door and heard crying so she went to see where her mom was. As soon as she saw her she went and sat down on the couch with her mom and hugged her. They stayed like that for the rest of the night because after a while Lorelai feel asleep and Rroy didn't wnat to move her.

The next day while Lorelai was at the Dragonfly Rory decided to call someone.So she picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?"
