Things were finally in place for Lorelei. Her daughter was back at Yale. She was madly in love with her- well, whatever Luke was. Almost fiancé? She supposed so. She wanted to make it real, though. Not almost, not kind of. She wanted to be able to walk around with a wedding ring and point to Luke, and say, 'This is my fiancé.' Was it like this with Max? She couldn't remember, but she didn't think so. "This is my fiancé." She said to herself out loud, hands gripping the steering wheel.
Luke was sure he was doing the right thing. No second thoughts. He was always sure when it came to how he felt about Lorelei. He could see Kirk walking a dog outside. He sat behind the counter, thinking for a few seconds, before calling to Lane, "I'll be back in an hour!"
"Hey! Kirk!" Kirk slowly turned to see Luke chasing after him. "To what do I owe this pleasure?" Kirk asked.
"Do you still sell rings?"
Dean quickly recovered from the punch, and sank his fist into Logan's stomach. Logan fell over, slowly getting up, and attempted to punch Dean again.
Funny, how Dean was always protecting her. This was the second fight he had gotten in for her. If that wasn't love, who knows what is.
"Guys, stop, please! My grandparents will hear you!" Rory pleaded. She attempted to step in between them, but jumped back when Logan flew across the room.
Dean pushed back his hair, and motioned towards the door. "She is the farthest thing from a slut. Get out."
Lorelei knew the suite so well. She could hear Paris arguing already, yelling at the guy on C-SPAN. Footsteps were pounding, meaning Janet was exercising. She knocked on the door. Tanya answered, with the same confused, innocent look on her face. She allowed passage.
"Oh, hello, Lorelei did Rory forget something?" Paris asked coolly.
Lorelei couldn't hide the smile. "No she didn't, actually. She's back."
"Back?" Tanya asked.
"She's back at Yale!" Lorelei cried. Janet stopped jump-roping. "Really?"
"Yes!"
"When is she back?" Paris was standing stock still, in disbelief.
"Tomorrow." Lorelei was already heading in Rory's room, dropping boxes.
"We're throwing a party." Janet and Paris actually agreed on this one.
Luke knew which one she would love. He knew her. Kirk had lay out all the rings on the diner tables. He knew which one he wanted immediately. Kirk told him it was a princess-cut. They set out a payment plan, and Luke was off upstairs. This needed to be planned out to perfection.
Logan had looked at Rory and her shocked face, then stumbled out, keeling over from the pain. She didn't think she would ever really see him again, and that was okay. She didn't love him. She never did.
Lorelei went with Janet, Tanya, and Paris to go get some party decorations. Paris drove like a crazy person. Hell, she was a crazy person. It was funny to look at the three suite-mates. They were so completely different, yet they all cared about Rory and it showed. They all chipped in, buying three big bags of party decorations.
