Chapter 15
As the day went on Rory knew she had to tell Luke that nothing is going on between her mom and Christopher. She just didn't know when to say it or even what to say. Finally on her lunch break she had had enough waiting. Whenever she saw Luke he would look over awkwardly say hi and run away. She couldn't take it anymore.
"Luke!" Rory yelled. Luke turned around, dismissed Kirk from his presence and walked over to Rory.
"Oh, hey Rory." Luke said again awkwardly. Rory rolled her eyes.
"Luke, um…I don't want things to be awkward between us."
"It's not." Luke lied.
"Yes. It is. It still is." Luke looked around. "Stop looking around awkwardly. I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"My mom is not dating my dad."
"Rory…."
"What? I would know. She loves you."
"Rory, you don't know anything about this. Just relax."
"No. My mother loves you. She loves you. And I know you love her too."
"Rory! You don't know anything!" Luke yelled. Rory frowned.
"I know enough." Rory said as she left.

When Rory got home she saw her mom sitting at her table drinking coffee.
"Hey Mom." Rory said.
"Hey kid. Where have you been?"
"I told you this morning. I was at Luke's."
"Oh. How was it?"
"He loves you mom. I know it."
"Listen. Rory, I know you're a smart girl. But with things like this…you can't just assume—"
"Mom. I know. He thinks you indifferent."
"You have to stop watching Pride and Prejudice."
"Mom. He doesn't think you love him."
"And you do?"
"Yes."
"Rory, I love you for caring but this isn't exactly your place." Lorelai said.
"Mom, you've been really depressed since you and Luke broke up. It is my place."
"Please Rory. Don't interfere."
"Fine." Rory said, "I'm sorry. It's just that I hate seeing you like this."
"I'm okay. I promise." Lorelai was lying. She wasn't okay. She knew what she had to do. And she decided she was going to do it.
