Chapter 2
Lorelai saw Logan walking to his car but did not see Rory anywhere. She rushed around the corner to go find her daughter. She could not wait another second to speak to her. Just around the corner, she found Rory. Rory just stood there, quietly, tears dripping of her face. She just let it happen. She felt defeated, tired and incredibly confused.
'Oh, sweetheart,' Lorelai said as she hugged Rory tightly, 'I know it doesn't look like it right now, but it will be all alright.' 'Mom', Rory started, 'I know all my doubts are just silly, but I feel so insecure. How do I know if I'm ready?' 'Rory, you just know. It just feels right. I know I'm not a great example when it comes to relationships, but when I look at you, I just know that you'll make the right choice.' Rory started sobbing again. 'I feel so awful. He planned this grand proposal, and I couldn't even answer him. How will he ever forgive me? How do we go from here?' Lorelai did not answer Rory. She just held her for what felt like forever until Rory calmed down. Lorelai then talked to her daughter about all the insecurities and doubts she felt. Rory at the end decided she would need a minute to figure it all out, but not at this party. So Lorelai texted Chris that they were going home and that if he was a smart man he would try to get out of there immediately. Rory got in her mother's Jeep and they went home, to Stars Hollow.
As soon as they got home, Lorelai went to the market to get some food. They needed all the comfort food she could find. She grabbed a couple bags of chips. Different flavors of course as they liked to switch up their chips. She also grabbed a giant bucked of Ice Cream and a roll of cookie dough, because that always helps with any kind of ache.
With her arms filled with the most delicious, unhealthy food, she went home, where she found Rory sitting on the couch in the dark. 'Mom, I just don't feel like eating.' Rory said as she saw her mom come in. Lorelai said: 'I know honey, but I got it just in case,' as she walked over to the monkey lamp to turn it on. After that Lorelai stalled out all the food on the table and went over to the kitchen to grab some spoons. Being all set for the night, she sat on the couch, cross-legged, facing Rory. 'Well, Rory,' Lorelai started 'how do you want to figure this out? Do you need a minute to yourself? Do you want to watch a movie or talk about what happened tonight? It's up to you. I totally understand if you don't want to talk it anymore.' Rory didn't answer her mom as she did not know the answer. Lorelai grabbed a bucket of ice cream, scooted towards her daughter, while handing her a spoon. They sat there, eating, in silence for a while.
After they finished the bucket, Rory stood up to put the other bucket of ice cream in the freezer. Walking back to the living room, Rory felt she was ready to talk. She paced in front of the TV while she started talking: 'Mom, I love Logan so much. He is so kind and sweet and he always thinks of me, but his parents will never approve. They think I am not good enough and they never will. I don't want to be the reason why Logan's relationship with his parents will get even worse. Would they even come to the wedding?' Rory stopped rambling for a second, turned around on her heels and said: 'It just now got very clear. I see myself walking down the aisle toward him. I am not sure how it will all work out. I'm not sure about anything right now, but I am sure about him. I do realize now that my worries are not about Logan or our relationship, but about everything surrounding marrying him.' As Lorelai listened to her daughter rambling, she smiled on the inside. She knew her daughter was ready, she had been ready, but Rory needed to find this out on her own. It was not her place to tell Rory to get married. As Lorelai looked up to Rory, she saw that Rory stood there with her coat on, hopping to get her shoes on. 'Mom, I got to take the Jeep for a little bit. I'll be back.' Rory said as she was running out the door.
