Prologue

Lorelei woke up as GiGi came into the room. She froze, not wanting either of them to know she was up. Christopher swiftly picked GiGi up and carried her out of the room. Lorelei rolled over once they were gone. She thought over the events of last night. She regretted everything, especially coming to Christopher. She should have just talked to Luke, tell him what she really thought. But no, instead she came to Christopher… Everything had fallen apart, or so it seemed, but she could've tried to fix it, tried to make it work. Now everything was definitely ruined, once Luke found out. But wait, why did she have to tell Luke? She could just not tell him; after all it'd taken him months to tell her he had a daughter.

She started gathering her stuff. Silently she walked out of the room, into the hallway. Christopher and GiGi were sitting in the living room. Christopher saw Lorelei come out of the room and walked over to her.

"Hey Lor."

"Chris… listen… this whole thing was a mistake... a very bad mistake..." Lorelei chuckled nervously, in realization.

"Listen Lor, I know this whole thing with Luke didn't work out, but that doesn't mean we have to give up on us."

"No Chris, you don't get it. Luke and I never officially broke up. So, this whole thing that happened here, wasn't supposed to happen."

"But I thought…." Chris said, recalling what Lorelei had told him last night.

"Yes I know I said it was now or never, but I didn't think he'd pick never! It, it doesn't matter, we could have worked things out. But now, now…" Lorelei swallowed her sentence and looked down at the floor, feeling ashamed. Tears started rolling down her cheeks, in a silent cry.

"Lor, I didn't know…. I never would've… damn it I'm such an idiot…" Chris rambled.

"No Chris, your not. It's not your fault. It's, it's mine. I never should've come here. I have to go." Lorelei said and walked past Christopher to get to the door.

Luke slammed a plate down in front of Miss Patty.

"Well aren't we in a fine mood this morning." Miss Patty mumbled.

"Just downright cheery." Luke said, sarcastically.

Babette, who'd witnessed the exchange between Miss Patty and Luke, walked over to sit opposite Patty.

"Haven't you heard?" Babette asked Patty quietly, so Luke wouldn't hear.

Patty tried to remember all the gossip she'd heard in the last few days and decided nothing could have possibly relate to Luke's bad mood. "What happened?" Patty asked, curiously.

"Well, last night me and Morry were taking a walk. Then Morry points to a couple fighting, but we couldn't see their faces on a count of us being so far away. But as we get closer I see its Lorelei and Luke, and as we get closer I can start to hear exactly what they're saying. Apparently, Lorelei wanted to elope, but Luke said no. He said something about April, but I don't know what exactly, then that made Lorelei even more mad, then she said something about now or never, then she got in her car and stormed off. What I'm guessing is that the wedding's off."

Patty turned to look at Luke, just as he slammed another plate in front of Kirk and stalked into the backroom. "Well, well, well." Patty stated simply, clearly surprised.
