"Luke, more coffee!"
"No, you've had 3 cups."he answered.
"2 more and I'll leave."Lorelai promised.
"Half in a to go cup and you leave now."he bargained.
"You enjoy my company and you know it but I'll take your offer. I'll have Sookie make me coffee at the Inn."
"You do that."Luke smiled at Lorelai as he filled her cup.
Rory came in on this scene and felt a little bad for interrupting but today was a Friday. It was also a teachers workday which meant she had no school. Lorelai still had work though.
"Rory! Wanna come to work with mommy?"
"No thanks. I'm gonna eat. Maybe i'll drop by later."Rory answered and sat at the counter.
"Okay."
Luke poured Rory a coffee as Lorelai stood to leave.
"She gets coffee."Lorelai accused.
"She just got here."Luke pointed out. With a small pouty sigh Lorelai headed to the Inn.
"Ready for some food?"Luke asked Rory.
"Um, yeah. Burger and onion rings for now."she said. Kirk was finishing his peanut butter and jelly sandwich at the counter beside her. She couldn't say anything till he was gone.
She bit her lip and thought carefully."Hey Kirk. How's it going?"
"Well, I got a blister from my new shoes which I got on sale at Payless but otherwise fairly well."
"That's good. Hey, Kirk, is it true Taylor's having a two for one sale on bologna?"
"Really?"
"That's
what I've heard."she lied.
"Oh my gosh! I'll be back! I love bologna!"Kirk ran out of the diner.
Luke came back with Rory's food.
"Where's Kirk?"he asked.
"He'll be back later I'm guessing. He can pay then."
"Fine."Luke
sighed and started to walk away.
'Hey, Luke."
"Yeah?"He turned expectantly.
"I-uh have a question. It's kind of important and I want you to answer honestly."
"Okay."he looked confused.
"Do you know where Jess is?"
Luke's shoulders drooped."Yeah."
"Address, phone number? Anything?"
"Rory, you don't want to talk to him. Don't let him hurt you again. He's gone now."
"Luke, I'm fine. I just need to square things away with him. Please."
Luke sighed and grabbed his pencil and pad of paper. He wrote something down and shoved it across the counter at Rory.
She grabbed it and threw some money on the counter."Thanks Luke. Bye."
She headed down the street before Kirk came back and read the paper as she approached her house.

Rory bit her lip and pondered her next move. She went into her room and hid the card inside her copy of The Fountainhead and tucked it in her nightstand drawer.
