"There's not a chance that your mother will be there is there?" Rory asked as they rode along in traffic. The offices were only a couple of dozen of blocks away from Logan's apartment, but he refused to let Rory walk.

"The chances are very minimal. She never showed up at the office while he was alive. I don't exactly see her showing up now that he's not around anymore." Logan said. Glancing over, he could see the faintest traces of worry etching Rory's delicate features. Wanting to comfort her the best he could even though he was driving Logan reached over with his free hand and took hers. "Rory, she's not going to be there. And even if she was, she would at least attempt to be civil in front of other people. She knows people are going to be watching her to see what she does in public. She may not make the best decisions but she will put her quote unquote best foot forward while at the company."

Rory nodded, comforted more by his hand holding hers than by the words he said. "I just don't want to deal with her." She said as her phone dinged with a new message. "Oh good a distraction." She thought to herself as she pulled her phone out of her purse. Reading it quickly she looked at Logan. "It's Paris. I texted her last night. She says she can see us next at 4pm."

Logan smiled. "I'll make it work. Tell her we will be there." Rory nodded and typed out a responde to Paris before sliding her phone back into her purse.

For the next several minutes, there was no noise in the car except for the road noise. Logan broke the silence finally. "Ace. Can I ask you something?"

The brunette turned her head so she was looking right at Logan and nodded. "Of course." She could by the blonde's facial expression that whatever he was about to ask was important.

"Would you conisder dating me again?"

Rory took a deep breath and looked at him. Half stunned that those words had just come out of his mouth and half relieved that it wasn't one of the other millions of questions she had invisioned him asking. "Yes, Logan. Of course I would." She said quietly and calmly, even though her heart felt like it was going to leap out of her chest.

"Are you saying yes to conisdering it, or yes to dating me again?" He asked, a smile playing on his lips and extending all the way to his twinkling eyes.

"Well, are you asking me out.?" Rory asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"I wasn't at first. But I guess I am now." Logan replied quickly.

"Well then I guess my answer is yes." Rory said with a smile that seemed to threaten to rip her face in half.

"To us actually dating right?"Logan laughed. "I just don't want there to be any confusion." he added.

"Yes, Logan. " Rory said as they slowed to a stop at a red light. As if from a scene in a cheesey Hallmark movie Logan leaned over and kissed her and whispered.

"I was hoping you'd say that."

"So, we're really going to do this aren't we?" Rory asked with a grin as they started driving agian.

"Yes, we are really going to do this." Logan feeling a sense of peace that he hadn't felt in a long time.

Logan pulled the car into a dimly lit parking garage a few minutes later. Rory laughed as she checked out the surroundings. "Seems like the perfect place for a murder movie."

"As far as I know, no one has been murdered here." Logan joked back as he eased the car into the first parking spot he could find. "Although I'm sure people tried to murder dad here a time or two."

After the blonde pulled the keys out of the ignition, he grabbed his phone and got out. Shutting t he door behind him he swiftly made his way around to the passenger side where he opened the door for Rory. She took the hand that he held out for her, and allowed him to help her out.

"Right this way." Logan said as he held on to her hand and led her to a elevator across the parking lot. As if they were waiting for them, the doors opened almost immediately after they arrived. "We've gotta take this to the sixth floor and then there's a glassed in bridge walkway that will take us over to the office building. I thought it was stupid when dad had it built. And I still think its stupid." Logan said as they the doors shut behind them and he mashed the glowing button next to the bronze six on the elevator panel.

"Seems like something your dad would throw money at." Rory said with a snort of laughter as they crossed the fully enclosed bridge a few moments later. "Especially with the gold H's everywhere. Very Mitchum."

"He wanted everyone to know just who's bridge this was. He wouldn't let anyone but family go across it." Logan laughed. "Odette wasn't even allowed to cross it with me when she came for photo ops."

Rory frowned at the mention of her name. While she believed Logan when he had told her that there was and never had been anything between himself and Odette, her name still brought on some weird feelings.

Logan caught one look of her face, and shook his head. "I'm sorry. I won't mention her again. But just so you know. You don't ever have anything to worry about. She could never even of held a candle to you, even if she tried. She's no Gilmore."

"We're a rare breed." Rory said, feeling comforted. Logan gave a slight smile and nod before keying in a code and pushing the door open to the office building.

The whole reception area was decorated in expensive art, gold accented vases and lamps and cream colored fabrics. The same gold H that she had noticed in the walkway was stamped, and priinted in various places throughout.

"Well. This is almost exactly what I expected." Rory said, not sure if she should laugh or not. Depsite the way he was raised and the house he had grown up in, Logan had much simpler tastes when it came to decorating.

"Well you have seen the house, and it was the same decorator." Logan said with a smirk as he led her down the hallway to a big wooden door that said Mitchum Huntzburger in large gold letters across the door.
