Chapter 3

"Mom, I'm home!" Rory called as she walked in the door.

"Hey kid. You've missed your momma!" Lorelai said as Rory entered the kitchen.

"Welcome back, Rory!" Luke said with a smile.

"Hey, Taylor really went overboard with the purple." Rory said with a smile at being home again.

"Yeah, hon. So tell us what's been going on with you." Lorelai said with enthusiasm.

"Are you gonna help me carry in your stuff or what?" a voice said from the entryway.

"Jess?!" Lorelai and Luke shrieked in unison.

"Hi, Lorelai. Hi, Luke. Rory did you have to pack so many books? I'm gonna get a hernia." Jess said as he entered the kitchen. Lorelai grabbed Rory by the arm and dragged her upstairs.

"What is Jess doing here?!" Lorelai said the minute they got upstairs.

"I ran into him in a coffee house in New York a few days ago and we're sort of together again. I was gonna tell you as he came in." Rory explained.

"Oh, well okay then." Lorelai said and they went back downstairs into the kitchen. Luke and Jess were still there and judging by the goony look of happiness on Luke's face they had just had a simalar conversation. Jess put his arm around Rory and Luke put his arm aroun Lorelai.

"How about we get some lunch and we can get you two unpacked later." Luke suggested.

"Sounds good." Jess said and the four headed out.
