Thanks for all the reviews. I am soooo sorry that it was hard to read. This time I am totally putting spaces. Thanks for all the wonderful tips.

Hope you like it...

ps:I forgot to tell you I don't own Gilmore Girls or any of the characters. I am just a mere writer wishing I owned that show.

Flashback-

As she went down the aile she saw a vaguley fimilar face. The man had blond hair that was spiked a bit and he had a semi gotee. He was wearing a leather jacket and jeans. "Tristan?" Tristan looked up from reading a soup can and he smiled. "Mary?"

Rory walked to Tristan. "I'm not Mary so much anymore" Tristan laughed. He sounded like a man not a young teenage boy. "Whatcha doing here?",asked Tristan. "I should ask you the same question!"

"Well after miltary school I went to Princeton and got a job as an architect. The reason I'm here is because Hartford has alot of places for me to work"

"Impressive. I never thought you were an architect kinda guy", said Rory half laughing.

"Ha, ha. Now you haven't answered my question"

"Alright. I graduted Chilton and then I went to Yale. I was head of the Yale Daily News for a year. Gradutated Yale and now I am working for this website as a journalist"

"No Havard? I thought that was your life long dream!"

She laughed. "Long story short, Yale was better for me" Tristan shrugged. They both started to leave the grocery store.

"Can I walk you to your car?",asked Tristan

She nodded.

"So what are you doing tonight?"

Rory smiled, "Why. Are you asking me out?"

Tristan smiled and showed his pearly white teeth. "Is that a problem"

She looked down at her ring and sighed. "Yes it would. I'm engaged"

"Oh. I should have seen the ring. The rock is so big" She remembered when Logan and she had gotten the ring. It was so perfect. After they had gotten engaged Logan went on many business trips. She realized now half of them were probably for her. She started to cry again not noticing Tristan was right infront of her.

"I didn't mean to upset you Rory. It was just a joke"

She laughed and wipped her tears. "No. I just found out my fiance has been cheating on me. It just really upsets me"

Tristan nodded. "I'm really sorry"

"I was just cleaning the apartment and I saw his cellphone on the ground. I read his text messages and... It was like he wanted me to find them. To show me I wasn't good enough for him"

A fresh batch of tears flooded Rory's face but this time she felt Tristans hands wipping them away. His hands felt warm and protective. Then she cupped her own hands into her face and cried. To her suprise Tristan put his arms around her like a shield. She broke away from him. "I better get going",said Rory feeling awkard.

"Yeah sure"

"Nice seeing you"

"Rory?"

"Yea"

"Can I call you sometime" She thought about it for a moment then nodded.

Then Rory got in her mothers car and started to drive home. She felt so protected in his arms, but just because Logan cheated did not mean she was going to get a rebound guy. Heck, she hadn't even broken up with him yet. She didn't know if she had the guts. But something inside Rory told her she needed to talk to Tristan again. As Rory pulled up to the driveway she saw her mother on the porch sitting. She turned off the car and sat there. Lorelai kept looking at her. Rory unlocked the car and got out. Slowly but surely she got to where Lorelai was. Her mother stood up. They looked at each other for it seemed forever and Lorelai put up her hands. Rory reacted by falling into them. Lorelai hugged Rory tight and let her cry.
