Luke stopped walking which made Lorelai stop walking. He turned to Lorelai.
"Hey? Look at me." He said but Lorelai hesitated. Look at me, Lorelai."
Lorelai looked up at him and saw that he was smiling which took her by surprise.
"I'm not mad anymore and I don't want you to spend the rest of your life feeling the regret of that. Yeah, I wish it hadn't happen and all that, but I think we had to go through all that pain and drama last year because it is the only way for us to see if we were really meant to be. To see if we could come through all that and after this talk, I think we have come through it. Actually, I know we have come through it and we will be stronger for it. So no more regrets, okay? Let's just move forward. I meant it when I said last that I never stopped loving you and I never will. This past year…I was miserable without you. I missed seeing you every day, I missed your pleas for coffee and the crazy way you could talk me into anything. It was a lonely year."
"I know exactly what you mean," Lorelai began, "I missed the friendship. You, Rory and Sookie are the best friends I have ever had. Not having you was a void that I felt every day. That's the scary part about getting back together. The thought that something could happen and I won't have that friendship."
"Well, we will just make sure that nothing will happen and we won't have that void ever again." Luke said as he leaned in and kissed Lorelai gently. "So…where do we go from here?"
"I think now you take me out on a date. Back to YOUR Luke's. The place you took me on our first date." Lorelai said.
"Okay, but there's something I need to tell you about that….the menu…they updated them. No more history of the place on the back." Luke said quietly with a gleam in his eye. Lorelai feigned a gasp.
"Oh no! Now what will we do for entertainment! Oh, I know, you can pull out that horoscope and read it to me again, that is if you didn't toss it after we broke up." She said with a giggle but to her surprise, Luke pulled his wallet from his pocket and slipped the horoscope out of a pocket.
"Still have it." He smiled and Lorelai looped her arm through his, gave him quick kiss then rested her head on his shoulder as the two continued their walk through Stars Hollow.
