They got to the inn in a great mood. Logan was tired but glad to be off work. He was worried about seeing Lorelai but if he could convince Rory's grandparents to give him a job he probably had nothing to worry about.

Rory was excited to see her mom. It had been a long time since they had been together in person although they still talked on the phone all the time.

Lorelai met them as they pulled up to the inn.

She came to Logan's side of the car. "Rory!" she squealed. "I haven't seen you in so long, my you have changed."

"Very funny mom." Rory said, getting out of the car and giving her mom a hug.

"You two should get settled in right away. I just stayed to wait for you but then I have to get home. I told Luke I would be home 2 hours ago, so theres a good chance he is having an embolism around now."

Rory laughed. "Okay, go. But will you be here tomorrow?"

"Want to meet for lunch and then I'll leave the two of you alone?"

"Perfect. Say hi to Luke for me."

"I will."

The two hugged again and Lorelai pressed the room key into Rory's hand before scampering off to her car.

Then Rory grabbed Logan's arm and dragged him into the inn excitedly.

They went into the room and collapsed on the bed, too tired to do anything but just relax and watch tv. There would be time for other things later but for now they were both enjoying their hard earned rest.

"So your mom completely ignored me." Logan finally said.

"I'm sure she will warm up to you, especially if we all have lunch together tomorrow."

"I hope so. I'm dying of hypothermia."

"Lets forget her until tomorrow and just focus on having fun and relaxing." Rory suggested.

Logan nodded and leaned in for a kiss.

When they were exhausted and relaxed, tangled in the sheets Rory's mind turned to food.

"I'm going to sneak down to the kitchen and see if Sookie left anything for us. She always has something special for me when I visit."

"I'll go with." Logan suggested, wanting to see the inn.

They both threw on their robes and headed downstairs. Thankfully it was quiet and all the other guests were asleep or at least in their rooms.

Sure enough, in the kitchen the night staff handed Rory a bag of food with her name on it. She smiled.

"All we have to do is warm it up."

They heated the food and took it to their room to eat.

"Logan I know its a strange time to ask this, but we never get much alone time anymore. Are you doing okay now? I mean be completely honest, how are you feeling?"

"About what?" he asked evasively.

"About everything. Your family, your job, us."

"Well it isn't what I thought it would be, but things are okay. Once I got used to the idea that my life wasn't going to be anything like I thought things got better. I mean its really embarrassing to be working for your grandparents, but at least I don't really see anyone I know, and screw my family, they were a bunch of jerks. I have a job right now so at least I can help to support us, and Rory I don't care as long as I'm with you. Really, I'm being serious, I thought all of that stuff mattered, but it doesn't. We have each other and we are happy with each other. I just hope that you aren't rethinking things now that I'm not the same person and I can't treat you the way I could before."

Rory nodded slowly. "I'm glad you feel that way. Of course I'm not rethinking things. Logan I liked you at first because you were different, and mysterious and fun. And you still are. I'm glad that you have taken so much responsibility for your life, besides the one ill-fated drinking episode. You've really matured lately and so have I and its a good thing. I wish you didn't have to work for my grandparents but I think that its the first step towards them accepting you just a little. I mean they have to know that by helping you they are helping us."

"Yeah, thats true. Well enough talk."

And with that Logan moved the food off the bed to make room for them.


Sorry I haven't been updating as much as I would like. Things are really insane at work but I promise I'll keep updating regularly.
