Jess was led on the couch with a book in his hand. Not reading the book but staring at the words searching for some answers. Every single word he looked at seemed foreign to him. He wanted to pretend like he didn't know what was distracting him but he knew all too well. The gold envelope still led perfectly on the table beside him. Every so often when he got bored of staring at his book, he would stare at the envelope instead.

Keys jiggled in the lock and Leah walked through the door, she rolled her eyes when she seen his position.

"You still reading? I thought you would have finished that book by now, you've been reading it for like 3 days..."

"Yeah, well.."

Leah caught a glimpse of the gold envelope on the table, she eyed it up cautiously.

"Who was the letter from?"

Jess snatched the envelope off the table and held it in his hands for a second before putting it in his back pocket.

"It wasn't a letter, it was a invitation"

"From?"

"Luke.. He and his fionce are finally doing the deed"

"Oh..."

She held back for a second, Jess rarely talked about his life before. She knew just about that he had lived with his uncle Luke in conneticut and that he'd had a girlfriend there. He hadn't mentioned anything else. She had found a couple of his letters from Luke while cleaning and she knew that this girls name was Rory. She was afraid to mention this "Rory" because it was obvious from the letters that this "Rory" was an important part of his past and she didn't want to pry anymore than she had. She then walked over slowly to sit down beside him. With her head on his shoulder she felt she was ready to tackle the important question..

"So... are you going?"

"I have to, he's done a lot for me. Plus, I'm the best man"

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"Uh.. Possibly

"Possibly?"

"It's just it's not that big a deal, you wouldn't know anybody there and well where he lives is a bit of a looney bin"

"So.. I'd know you. Is there a reason that you don't want to show me off to all your old friends and family?"

"That's not it at all, its just.."

"Rory?"

Jess pulled away from her with wide eyes. How did she know about Rory? She shouldn't know about Rory.

"What? How do you know about Rory?"

There was a long pause. A 2 second silence that felt like an hour, she stood up and began to pace, thinking how to answer.

"I.. uh.. I was cleaning, and I found a letter"

Jess felt the anger rising inside of him. How dare she go through his stuff, how dare she read his personal letters, how dare she have the nerve to mention Rory"

"So.. you read it?"

"I just wanted to know a little about your past, you never speak about any of it. I need you to open up to me more, I found the letter and took the chance"

"Leah.. Rory is my past.. you are my present"

She bit her lip.

"...And your future?"

When Rory woke up, it had felt like the worse hangover ever. She had fallen asleep on her bed after she exhausted herself with her flipout. She looked at her alarm clock and was surprised that she could sleep that much.

"Oh god.."

She slowly stood up and walked to the door deciding to do what she should have done hours ago. She stood nervously behind the door and then charged out. Lorelai was sat on the sofa with Paul Anka by her side watching some old movie. Rory strided into the living room and stood infront of the TV.

"I have something to say"

Lorelai muted the TV and frowned at her daughter.

"Okay..."

Rory stood silent for a second, wondering where to even start and how to form the words that she wanted to say. Suddenly her mouth took over.

"I saw Jess"

"Boy, I thought you were just going to apoligise.. Jess? as in JessJess? As in JessJessJessJess?"

"JessJess"

"Are you sure?"

"I think we've established it was Jess, Mom"

Lorelai could understand why her daughter would want to keep this from her, she wasn't exactly Jess' biggest fan. She patted the sofa to motion Rory to sit. Rory shook her head.

".. Well when?"

"A couple of months back"

"And?..."

"He was Jess.. but he wasn't Jess"

"You are messing with my head here kid"

"He was so different..Mature. He was all grown up, and there I was acting like a child. He wrote a book you know.. A book! I always knew he could do something great and he did. I mean you should read it, it's amazing and I'm not just being bias because it is amazing. And he was the same old Jess, but different you know?"

"Hold on, slow down. Mature. Book. Jess. Okay, got it. Are you sure it was Jess?"

"Mom.."

"Okay, It was Jess.. He still cute?"

"Mom!"

"Well, it's a valid question!"

"He was.. Jess"

"So in otherwords he was still cute"

Silence fell over the room yet again. Rory sighed and sat down next to Lorelai. Lorelai put her arm around her in a comforting embrace.

"You still have feelings for him"

"No.. I don't! I'm with Logan"

Rory was blantently lying to herself and her mother. She could see it and she could see her mother could see it.

"It wasn't a question honey.. You do, It's human nature, he is your ex. And you two were never a closed chapter.."

Rory knew Lorelai was right, she has always known it. She just knew that if someone else had told her it, it would become even scarier because then she would have to do something about it. Something about it? What could she do about it? Jess probably had someone else, he had a whole other life. It would be selfish of her to butt in and try and take him away from it.

"I just.. I waited for him to become that guy.. and now he is that guy and I have a total different guy and.. I miss him.. I tried so hard to push him out of my mind when he first left, telling myself he wasn't worth it and that I needed to move on. I never had a chance to.. wallow"

"Well do you want to be with him?"

Rory looked away, not knowing how to answer this question.

"I think.. I think I do"

She fidgeted again, ready to move on from this conversation for now. Lorelai knew that the rest would come later and for now, they needed some kind of safety zone.

"Hey.. you know what we need right now? Ice cream!"

"Have we got cones?.."

"Well seeming as we haven't got ice cream, probably not but seeming as I'm going to Doose's to get some icecream I could probably pick some up.."

Lorelai kissed Rory on the forehead and picked herself up. She started searching for her coat and shoes.

"So it's Ice cream, cones, anything else?"

"I don't think so. Thanks mom.. Oh and Mom?...Sorry"

"It's okay, hun."
