A/N : Thanks for reviews. I know you all have questions about what happened, but it will get answered in time.
Three Weeks Earlier
She knew that this woman was going to cause trouble.
She knew it since the moment she walked into the diner and saw her flirting with Luke.
And what made it even worse was that he was flirting back.
He smiled, blinked more then a few times and watched in amazement as she flipped her hair back.
It wasn't until she closed the diner door behind her did he look up and get that guilty look on his face.
He looked like he just kicked a puppy or did something dirty he shouldn't have.
"Lorelai." He said in shock.
"Hi." was the only thing she could get out of her throat. Because all she wanted to do was throw one of the diner stools over her head.
"What are you doing here?" Luke asked.
"Well that's a good way to greet someone."
"But you weren't supposed to be back for a few more days."
"Yeah, well, I was done everything. And well, surprise. Here I am." she presented herself with hand gestures.
Luke rounded the counter and stood in front of her.
"Aren't you happy to see me?" she asked in disbelief.
"Oh, of course!"
He kissed her on the mouth. But something was different. It was like he was holding back, like he didn't want to show her that he missed her and it felt as though he didn't really miss her.

Present
She sat in the jeep as it was parked outside of the Crap Shack.
She couldn't go in. There were too many memories of them there. Thankfully she called Rory and asked her if she could come by soon and get a suitcase full of clothes for her.
Lorelai laid her head down on the steering wheel and turned the radio up.
Of course it had that new dance song and how the girl got crazy feelings when her guy kissed her or touched her.
All the elements of the world were going against her. She felt as though she would never be happy because that's what someone up in the big coffee shop from above didn't like that. Didn't want her to be loved, didn't want her to finally settle down or finally find that one person who was completely compatible with her.
She never realized she was crying until she felt the steering wheel seemed wet.
How could he do this to her? Why is he allowed to screw up but then act all innocent. She knew what happened but never wanted to hear his side of the story. Unless his side had something to do with him getting drugged, she didn't care.
She heard a tap on her window and expected it to be Rory.
But no.
Again, all the elements were still against her.
It was Luke.

Three Weeks Earlier
Eating dinner in his apartment was always romantic and personal.
But tonight it wasn't.
She still had this gnawing feeling in her stomach that something was up.
And it had to do with that woman.
She moved her pasta around with her fork. She wasn't really hungry.
"What's wrong?", Luke asked.
She looked up and saw his concern.
"Nothing, I'm just tired. You know, long flight.", she was actually trying to convince herself.
"Not hungry?"
"Not really. But it is good. Thank you." she smiled at him quickly and turned back to her meal that she was not going to eat.
Luke sighed.
"Her name is Avery."
At this Lorelai's head flew up.
"Who is Avery?"
"The woman. The one I was talking to when you came in."
She didn't think that he would actually tell her without her pestering him for answers.
"Oh."
"Yepp."
And that was it. No more about Avery for the rest of the night.
Remeber. Read & Reivew. Please.
