"It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?" Logan asked as he watched Rory shuffle through the old leatherbound books that lined the shelves which surrounded them.
"It was a lifetime ago. Think about how much has happened since that day." Rory said matter of factly as her fingers stopped on a well worn dark volume as she slid it easily from the shelf. She flipped it open to a random page and held it close to her face, closing her eyes and taking a deep whiff of it. When she opened her eyes and looked at Logan over the book he had a smirk on his face.
"A lot has happened since the last time I saw you do that, but some things never change." He grinned. He watched her look at several more books before she put the last volume back on the shelf and turned her attention back to Logan.
"Let's go find the wing in the buisness school that's named for grandpa. I know that grandma will want to see pictures of it." Rory said extending her hand for him to take.
After a few wrong turns, they ended up in the buisness school and within minutes they found the wing that bore Richard Gilmore in bright shiny letters across the entryway. On either wall were pictures of him. Varying from when he himself was in school to when he came back and taught while Rory was a student. Rory released Logan's hand and walked over to the large framed picture that she recognized as his staff photo from when he taught in this very building. She brushed the picture wistfully as she studied the stern face looking back at her.
Logan knowing how close they had been, allowed her the space and time that she needed. It wasn't until Rory reappeared at his side again that he spoke. "Are you okay Ace?"
Rory wiped at her eyes and nodded. "Yeah. It just. It still doesn't feel like he's gone. You know?"
Logan nodded and took the camera from her. "Go stand over by the pictures. Ill snap a couple for Emily."
Rory smiled and went back to where she had just been, posing for a few photographs before rejoining Logan once again. As her hand found his, she smiled up at him. "Thank you Logan, for bringing me here. For not calling me crazy because I wanted to come back to Yale. For everything." She squeezed his hand as an added token of thanks.
"Well you are crazy, but for totally different reasons." The blonde said with a slight smirk as they set off down the hallway and out of the large buisiness building. "But you're welcome." He looked around, classes must have just let out because there were a decent amount more people mulling around then when they had been outside a few moments earlier. "Do you still want to go to the cafeteria, or do you wanna head back?"
Rory thought for several long seconds before responding to Logan's question. The emotions of visiting the Richard Gilmore wing, as well as just being back on campus with Logan at her side were starting to wear on her. They weren't all bad, but they were taxing. "Let's just go back to the apartment. You can go over your dad's will, and I can check in with the gazette and make sure it got out okay."
"Okay. To tell you the truth I wasn't really looking forward to the cafeteria except for sentimental reasons. That last year, the food got pretty bad." He said as they walked through campus and back in the direction of the car.
Rory paused in front of the main entrance, and turned to Logan. "We need a picture of us here. New memories and all." She flagged down a girl dressed in all baggy clothes and had her snap a couple shots, thanking her before they were on their way again. "Now we have new pictures of us." She said with a smile.
"Ace. Ace. Wake up. We're back." Logan said as he gently jostled the sleeping brunette's arm. She had fallen asleep about twnety minutes outside of Yale and he had let her sleep till he parked the car in fornt of the apartment.
"Whaaa." Rory responded her voice thick with sleep. "Where are we?"
Logan laughed as he reached around her and unbuckled her seatbelt. "We just got back to the apartment. You fell asleep a little while ago." He held his hand out and helped the still drowsy brunette out of the car.
Once they were upstairs in the apartment and Rory and woken up a bit more. She laughed as she settled on the couch with her laptop. "Sorry I fell asleep. Again."
Logan laughed as he joined her with his own laptop and the stack of folders they had gotten at the offices earlier that day. "It's okay, you're growing a human being. I imagine that is kind of exhausting."
