Rory woke up in her bed that she missed so much. It was early in the morning and she knew nobody else in the house would be up. She got dressed and headed out to Lukes for breakfast. She loved walking around the town it made her feel at peace. She took the long way to Lukes so she could stop by and see the people she has missed. She had already stopped into the bookstore to see if there was anything good and now she was on her way to Miss Pattys. She hadn't seen her in a while and she really missed her and her crazy ways. The doors to Miss Pattys were open as always and Miss Patty in the door way.

"Rory dear you're home"

"Hey Miss Patty. Ya I'm home for a few days."

"Did you bring that gorgeous Aussie with you" Miss Patty gave Rory her smirk that let you know what was on her mind.

"Yes he is here too Miss Patty" She smiled at her and then headed onto Lukes. Rory really missed Lukes food and was dying for his pancakes. Luke heard the bells on the door and couldn't help but smile at the girl walking in.

"Rory you're home" He came around the counter and hugged her.

"Ya I'm home god I missed you" She sat at the counter and waiting for her food.

"Rory I need to ask you something" Luke leaned close in so no one could hear them talking.

"I want to ask your mom to marry me but I wanted to make sure its ok with you first." Rory was just smiling at Luke speechless.

"Of corse you can. You are more of a father to me then my own and now this will make it official. God I'm so happy for you" She got up and ran around the counter to hug him with tears in her eyes.

"Thanks Rory I knew you wouldn't mind I just wanted to ask" He let go of her and she headed back to eat. They talked a little while she finished eating.

"So how are you feeling"

"I'm feeling ok Logan has made a few appearances that shook me up but I'm good." She smiled sweetly then finished her coffee. "Ok I'm gonna head back home everyone is most likely up I'll see you later" She gave Luke one last hug then headed on her way. She decided she wanted to go to the pond first. She hadn't been there since she went with Jess because it had been to hard. She missed it though and with everything that has changed in her life she wanted to go back there one more time. She was heading down the path to the bridge when she got the butterflies in her stomach. She missed him a lot but he had just left and he never even said goodbye and it killed her. She went to the middle of the bridge and sat on the edge like she use to with him. She sat there for a while remembering the good times. She really did miss him and she wished they had more but their time was over. She got up and was about to leave when she saw someone walking towards her. She couldn't believe her eyes and her breath was not caught in her chest. She looked up from her shoes one last time to make sure she wasn't losing it.

"Jess"
