Upon hearing Logan's voice say her name Rory broke into a smile, Logan's face remained blank. There were a few moments of silence before Rory got the nerve to speak, "Uh, yeah, that's me."

"What are you doing here, Rory? No one's hurt or anything right?" Logan's tone started out annoyed, but turned softer when the second question was being asked.

"No one's physically hurt, no, but I'm broken. And I came here to fix that." Rory said

Logan sighed heavily, she's the broken one? She's the one that dumped me! I'm broken, not her. She doesn't get the right to be broken and come looking for sympathy or understanding. "I don't know why you came here then. It's late; I got to get up early in the morning. Good night." Logan said, anger taking over his speech.

Rory blocked his shutting of the door, which caused Logan to turn his attention back towards her.

"That's not going to be good enough for me Logan."

"Well frankly, you lost the right to care about what I do or say months ago. So, I really could care less if it's not good enough for you."

"No. Don't say that. You were always the one fighting for us. You were the one that convinced me that you could be a boyfriend, and you were, are, a great one. You were the one that fought for me after our Thanksgiving breakup. You were the one that didn't give up on us and tried everything to get me back. Even after I told you I was going to move out after the Bridesmaid's you didn't give up, you fought for what we had and now I'm taking a page out of your book and doing the same."

Logan looked at her; he couldn't help but feel some sort of pride for the Rory that flew across the ocean to fight for him. He didn't think she had it in her, he didn't think she cared enough to do this. He was under the impression that the feelings he was feeling were one sided and unreciprocated, which only made them worse. But now, with Rory making this big a move Logan's initial anger at her appearance subsided. Still that didn't pave the way for reconciliation.

"You're too late Rory."

"Don't say that," Rory pleaded.

"But I think you are. I'm not the same person you broke up with, over the phone," he added for emphasis, "months ago. I'm different and I don't think that my new life includes you," Logan said with a mix of hurt, anger and resignation.

"You may say that now, but just wait. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, or that I expected you to come rushing to the door and sweep me off my feet, but you shouldn't expect me to give up because you say no one time."

Logan paused and let her words sink in, she wasn't going to give up, she was going after what she wanted, and she wanted them. If this were September, Logan would probably have done exactly what Rory said she didn't expect. If this were October he might have invited her in, so they could talk some more and try and start healing, but it wasn't. This was December and three months of not speaking, three months of being focused on work, three months of trying desperately to forget her and three months of being reminded of the pain she caused all made him severely doubt any reconciliation.

"Where are you staying?" Logan asked.

"The London Hyatt, the stay is a Christmas gift from my Father. Normally, I'd say it was too much, but I have a feeling it's going to be worth it."

"I'm sorry, I don't feel the same. Good bye Rory, enjoy London," Logan blurted out quickly, not wanting to talk to her a moment longer for he didn't know how long his resolve would hold up. Logan shut the door and retreated back to the safety of his apartment.

Rory looked at Logan's closed door and a new feeling engulfed her. It wasn't one of defeat or of surrender; it was a feeling of determination. She walked to the elevator eager to come back the next night and try again, hoping that maybe he'd talk to her for just a little longer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Logan made his way back into his bed, but couldn't get back to sleep. His mind kept on returning to the visitor that he had just left at the door. Logan didn't know how to act in front of her. The sight and sound of Rory brought back so many memories and feelings, both positive and negative. Hurt, joy, anger, love, despair, relief, resignation, hope. All filled his thoughts when thinking about Rory. He wasn't sure what was going to happen. He didn't know what Rory was going to try or how he would react. He wasn't sure if she was just going to give up after tonight, or after two nights, or maybe it will take a week. He was uncertain about her commitment to fighting, but was still glad that she was trying, trying to get him, trying for him. He thought about the fact that she flew all the way to London, during the holiday season with the intent on getting him back. She wasn't staying in Stars Hollow; she was here where the future was uncertain and the outcome unlikely to turn out in her favour, and that made him fall asleep with a smile on his face for the first time in months.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rory's fingers stayed perched over send for 30 seconds, she wasn't sure if the person on the end of this line would be as happy to speak to her as they have been in the past. Rory decided that if she wanted Logan back in her life that this was necessary and she was ready to hear whatever the receiver was going to say, and so she pressed send and the ringing began.

"Hello?" the female voice on the other end said.

Rory took a deep breath before greeting her back, "Hey Honor."

Logan's sister was surprised to hear the voice of what she thought was Logan's former girlfriend; she needed to make sure, "Rory?"

"Yeah, it's me Honor."

Honor wasn't sure of how to react, from what Logan had told her Rory dumped him over the phone and hadn't spoken to her in months, so she decided to prod for more information, "Why are you calling me?" It came out a bit more blunt that she would have liked, but she needed to know.

"Oh, I need your help, Honor, with Logan."

"For what with Logan?"

"I'm in London, I went to his apartment tonight, actually just came back, I needed to see him, needed to speak to him, he was about as receptive as I thought he would be."

Honor didn't hear any disappointment or anger in her voice, but still needed to say something, "what did you expect Rory? You spouted some crap about letting him go before you got to deep or whatever and just cut off all contact with him. I didn't think you could be that cold, I thought you were the one other person Logan could count on, and you just ditched him. Do you know how that made him feel Rory? He was a wreck, and you know how he coped? He became a work obsessed, jackass, he became his father, he became what he tried so hard not to. I guess I have you to thank for the destruction of my baby brother."

Rory didn't know what to say, she knew from Logan's reaction that he wasn't the same but she never thought what she did would have such an impact on him, Rory felt worse upon hearing this than she had since September. "I…I don't know what to say Honor, I…I didn't think he would…I guess I didn't know what he thought of….I am so sorry."

Hearing the quiver in Rory's voice, Honor decided that her anger would do no good any more and switched the topic of conversation, "So, what are you doing in London?"

Rory thought about the right thing to say, she thought that if anybody could help her get Logan back Honor would be it, but after Rory had heard the anger in her voice, she wasn't sure if she was going to be so available for advice. "I'm here to see if there's a way of getting your baby brother back, and to see if he can give me a second chance."

"Rory, I don't think…" Honor was interrupted.

"No, don't say that. I know I hurt him and ruined him, but it's not like I've been fairing much better. I'm not the same person I was either, and I hate to pull this card, but after all the second chances I gave him in our relationship, I don't think it would be crazy to suggest that he entertain the idea of one for me."

"Rory, it's just going to be hard. Logan's always been stubborn and emotionally he's always been guarded, and with how attached he was to you, it's just going to take a lot on you part for him to entertain a second chance. And I know you've done it for him, but just be aware there's a good chance this will be a wasted trip," Honor paused to let her words sink in, "how long are you in London for?"

"School starts in about a month. So I have that much time to make some in roads, and I'll make a decision as to what to do when the time comes to go back draws nearer, I just have to try."

"And that's all the advice I can give you. Just try, don't give up, I think, that more than anything, he needs to know that you are going to be there. Try and prove to him that you aren't going to go away again. I don't know how you're going to do that, but I think that's what he needs to know."

"Thanks Honor, you've been a great help."

"No problem, and I know I've been coming off as a bitch to you, but I'm just protective of him, I liked what I saw in him when you two were together, I hope I can see that again. Bye Rory." And the line went dead.

"I hope so too," Rory said to her empty hotel room, and went to get ready for bed in her first night in London, filled with hope and fear.
