Thanks for all the comments!
They were all wonderful and helpful. I honestly wasn't sure whether to go with Logan or with Jess, but as I was writing the Jess chapter it became pretty clear that it was going to be more Jess focused. I was always more of a Literati fan and I wasn't too favourable of Logan, but then Logan has grown on me as I've re watched the seasons. But I still find it hard to write for Rory and Logan. I just wanted to write something realistic. The fact is Rory was in a serious relationship with a man she loved for almost 3 years. That isn't just going to go away all of a sudden and she'll just fling into Jess's arms. I'm just going to let this grow organically and see where it goes. It should be fun. Thanks for reading.
Jess reached in his pocket for his keys. He opened the small mailbox in the lobby of his apartment building. Normally he just got junk mail or bills. But today he found an envelope with hand written text on the front. That's rare these days, he thought. As he walked up the stairs to his apartment he started casually ripping the envelope open. When he finally took it out and read the first few words he stopped on the stairs in surprise. It was a letter from Rory. Why was Rory writing him? He hadn't seen or heard from her since he tried to kiss her at the opening. 'Wow, this is pretty long...' he thought.
Jess closed his door behind him and walked (half reading) to his couch, sat down and read the whole thing.
He read that Logan had proposed and that she had said no. He felt relieved. "But why is she telling me this', he thought. As he stumbled upon "You were so sexy Jess" he stirred a little. 'Were?..' he wondered. He was confused. It seemed like she was reminiscing about their relationship, as well as ranting about her failed relationship with Logan, but still wasn't clear about what she actually wanted. Jess had read a lot of Rory's writing before and it was normally so direct and focused. 'Maybe the one is the person who you meet at the right time, or maybe the right one is the one who loves you enough to wait for you to get there.' he read again. What does she mean? Is she implying that I've been waiting for her? Or that Logan should have...? She mentions when she is going to be in his town. "She wants to meet" he finally said out loud. Jess wondered whether he should even bother going down that road again. She's obviously still hung up on that rich guy. But still he wondered whether between the lines she wanted something... But Friend, she said she really needs a friend right now. Jess grabbed his phone and fiddled with it in his palm for a few moments, wondering what to do next.
Rory's phone buzzed in her purse beside her. She grabbed it and saw that it was a text from Jess.
"Hey Rory,
I just got your letter. I've got to admit, I'm a little confused. Although you seem a pretty confused yourself. Congrats on your job. What's the online paper? I'll look it up. I would like to see you as well. I don't have anything planned for the 7th if you'd like to grab dinner or something?"
She finally breathed after what felt like minutes.
She was happy that she would get to see Jess, but she wasn't exactly sure what what she was expecting, or what she wanted to happen. Rory started writing with her thumbs,
"Sure, that sounds great. So I'll meet you at Truncheon Books at 7?"
