"Oh Hi Luke ummm... how did you get here?", said Rory confusion written all over her face.
"I drove"
"Ya I know that but, how did you know I live here? I don't think you have ever been here before".
"I know I haven't, I phoned Paris, because it was on a slip of paper by the phone, and since you moved out of there, I figured she could tell me were you lived, but no, not even a simple address or even a street number, she went on and on about how people can act like other people, or maybe I have a gun to my head and an axe murderer is coming to get you, I tell you that girl has problems! so since she would not tell me I phoned Yale, I didn't think I would get through with Yale being over and all, but I did and I talked to the headmaster, and he said practically the same thing, just not in those exact words, I have never been called a phyco axe-murderer twice in one day! I said it was a emergency and I was looking for my Fiance, then he made me say your middle name and birthday, until I finally got your address!"
"Woah! Luke take a breath, Loreali is just fine we just had supper, and I have no problem letting you in on normal circumstances, so I'll have to ask her, if she wants to talk, if not I'm sorry you went through all this trouble".
"Ok, if thats the best, thing you can do".
"You can wait in the hallway if you want".
Rory walked over to Lorali who was sitting on the couch trying to be focused on picking out all the red smarties, in the bowl in front of her.
"I heard the whole thing, let him in I want to see what his sorry arse has to say".
"You sure mom, I don't want you getting any more upset".
"Ya, I'm sure".
"Luke heard this and walked to were Lorali was sitting, she wanted to look busy so she started picking out the green smarties and popping them into her mouth.
"Loreali, please come home, I talked to Anna and I found out all along she did not want me to see April, she kept her from me all those years because she thought I was a loser and wanted someone better for April, well she found someone, and he sounds like a boring drone, I know this because she would not answer the phone she was to cowardly to come to the phone, but you Loreali you are the woman I want, you don't let anyone have power over you, and don't take garbage from anyone, even me. I feel bad for keeping April from you I just wanted to be ready so I could show you I could be a good father to the children I hoped we could have someday. I thought if Anna thought I was incapable of raising a kid, then I thought maybe you thought that to after all I am just a greasy diner man".
"What? I never said that! and don't go feeling sorry for yourself, I thought you were the greatest thing on this planet, until you shut me out!"
"I can't deny that, andI am sorry. I have been thinking, the roots of this problem have been April and the Diner, and since I am not supposed to see April anymore, the diner has to go too, see no more problems".
"What!", said Lorali, more shocked than angry now," You mean sell the Diner? But Luke you love that diner, it was your fathers and it's your job, what will you do without it?".
"I don't know being there brings up to many memories, I will probably move to New York or something".
There was silence no one knew what to say.
"I can't provide for you the way I want to on a lowly diner income, I have some money in the bank, but it's not much, you will probably be happier here anyways", and with that Luke turned to leave but Loreali stopped him.
"Can we fix this?", said Lorali with tears running down her cheeks.
"I don't know can we?", and with that Luke put his arms around Loreali and hugged her tight, his tears were staining her shoulder, and hers were on his.
