"Lor, wake up," Dean said while kissing her lips softly.
"Sweet Prince, I will punch you in the jaw if you don't let me sleep for five more hours."
"I have orientation today. I won't see you until…"
"You didn't tell me you had orientation today."
"Yes I did, several times. This was the day I picked because it didn't conflict with court dates."
"Okay, wide awake now. You have college orientation today? I was hoping we could spend the day together," Lorelai pouted.
"Please don't guilt trip me, I'm tired, and I have to shower. Gotta be on the road by 9."
"You don't have to take a tone with me. "
"I'm not, just trying to get something accomplished today."
"And what is that supposed to mean? Spending time with me accomplishes nothing?"
"You know that's not what I meant. I'm not in the mood to pick a fight," and with that, he rose from the bed and headed into the shower.
Lorelai sat up and folded her hands in her lap. Dean was going to be leaving her for college. This was the end coming. She hated the empty pit feeling in her stomach. She got up, dressed in a tshirt and jeans, and left without saying goodbye.
