Chapter 9
Tristan POV
Rory and I were staying at a hotel while we were in town for the reunion. We wanted a break so that we could relax. Rory was currently at her mom's with Savannah. Rory said that Savannah was struggling a little bit since I had been in New York. After I checked into the hotel, I had walked outside to get our bags when my cell rang. I answered it. "Hello?"
"Tristan dear." It was my mother.
"Hello Mother." I said.
"I hear that you're in town for the Chilton reunion."
"Yes, Mother I am. Is there a reason for this call?" I said.
"Well I thought that you might like to join us for brunch tomorrow before the reunion. I assume that you're staying with Honor and Josh?" My mother asked.
"No mother I'm not. Rory and I are staying at a hotel for a little R&R."
"Oh. Well the two of you should come to brunch. It's been a while since we've any of you. We miss the whole family."
"I know Mom. We've just been extremely busy."
"I understand dear."
"Thanks Mom. Bye mom." I said and hung up.
I grabbed our bags out of the car and took them into the hotel. I took the bags into the room and sat the bags in front of the dresser. I looked around the room. I sat down on the edge of the bed and waited for Rory.
A little while later, I heard "You okay?" and looked up. I saw Rory standing in the doorway.
"Yeah, just thinking about everything." I said.
Rory walked over and sat down next to me on the bed. I put my arm around her shoulders. "I'm sorry that I haven't been around." I said to her.
She reached up and kissed my cheek. "It's okay. You've been working, and I understand that. Savannah's just at that age where she's… she's not a kid anymore but she's not a teenager yet either." She said.
"Thanks. I love you, you know that." I said.
"I know. I love you too." She put her hand on my cheek that was farther from her turning my head toward her so that I was looking at her. "I really do." and then she kissed me.
