On Thursday of that week, Logan comes home with Rory and Holly for a night of tacos and a movie. "So, Paris texted me." Rory said, sitting on the couch. "Uh oh." Logan replies, plopping down next to her with the brown paper bag. "It's not an uh oh, we talk all the time." Rory says, hitting Logan lightly on the chest. "Have you met Paris?" Logan asks, looking at Holly. Holly nods, eyes wide, mouth full of taco. "Crazy?" Logan asks and Holly nods, then crosses the room to go into her bedroom. "See, your roommate agrees with me." Logan said, raising his eyebrows at Rory. "She has calmed over the years." Rory says.
"Anyways, Paris texted me and said that she and Doyle were coming into the city for the weekend." "Why?" Logan asks, and Rory gives him an annoyed look and he raises his hands up in defense of himself. "All I'm saying is I'm still a little scared of her." He says, reaching for his taco out of the bag. "If you must know, she wanted to come see me-" "I'm sorry what?" "I'm her best friend, Logan! You know this!" "Yeah I didn't know it was still a thing, I mean I know you guys can't really seem to get rid of each other, but I figured you would grow apart after college." "Anyways, she's coming to see me and because her mom is in New York this weekend for some event, I don't remember the specifics."
"Okay, so…" Logan says. "So, she wanted to go out to dinner on Saturday, and I know we have dinner with Honor and Josh on Friday, but I wanted to know if you wanted to come." "I mean, she scares me, but yes. I don't really know how you're still friends with her or how you became friends at all for that matter, but yes." "It's been a long and rough 8 years or so, but I've really grown quite attached to her, and thank you, you're the best, despite your slightly rude comments." Rory says, kissing Logan on the cheek and grabbing her taco out of the bag.
"On the plus side, you can probably still scare Doyle quite a bit." Rory says, after taking a bite of her taco. "Oh you're right! Maybe it won't be so bad after all." Logan says, grinning at Rory. "You're terrible." Rory says, smiling back at him.
"So is Paris staying here?" Logan asks after eating more of his taco. "Yes, Holly's going away for the weekend with her boyfriend again, so it worked out perfectly." Rory says, nodding towards Holly's room. "She stays with him a lot on the weekends." Rory explains.
"I'm sorry for saying those things about you two being friends." Logan says, feeling sorry for his comments. "It's okay, I know she's a lot. I don't know we're just very bonded in a way, and I mean it, she has gotten more mellow over the years." "I know, I know. I will play nice with Paris while she's here." Logan says, sighing and putting his arm around Rory. "I appreciate it." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Logan says, rolling his eyes a little, but kissing Rory lightly on her temple.
"So we'll just go to Honor's from work?" Logan asks on his way out of the apartment. They had watched their movie and it had gotten late. "Yeah, that sounds good." "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." Logan finishes, kissing Rory gently on the lips, letting it linger for a few seconds. "Bye." Rory says, smiling.
The next day, Logan meets Rory at her desk at the end of the workday, her jacket in his arm. "Hey, Ace, ready to go?" He asks, and she stands up, nodding her head. After the hour long car ride, they finally arrive at Honor and Josh's house in Connecticut.
"She doesn't hate me right?" Rory asks suddenly once they have arrived at the house. "Who? Honor? She loves you, Rory." Logan says, giving Rory a concerned look. "I mean, I did break off our relationship and she loved us together, and I just don't want her to hate me." "She could never hate you, plus now we're back together so all is well and right in the world." Logan says, smiling reassuringly.
The pair gets out of the car and starts up the long drive towards the house, and Logan notices the panic still in Rory's eyes. "Rory, it's going to be okay, I promise." Logan says, grabbing Rory's hand and kissing it lightly.
Before they can even ring the bell, the door opens and Honor springs out to hug Logan. "You're here!" She cries, once released from the tight embrace. "And Rory, it's so nice to see you again!" Honor says, hugging Rory this time. Smiling, Logan mouths, "I told you" to Rory who just smiles back.
Once the greetings were over, Honor leads them into the entryway of the house, where Josh stood politely. "Hey Josh." Logan says, holding his hand out to shake Josh's. Rory stays beside Logan, just smiling and waving slightly at Josh, who smiles back.
"Let me take your coat, then we can go eat." Skipping a drink, the group goes straight to the dining room. "Honor, mom would be ashamed of you, skipping drinks." Logan says, his voice sarcastically ghastly. "Well, I figured you guys would be starving, seeing as it's quite late to be eating, and since you both came from work." She explained. "It's perfect, Honor." Rory says as they sit.
"So Rory, how have you been?" Honor asks, once they've sat down. "I've been good! I'm living in the city, and working at Condé Nast, and everything just seems to be fitting into place recently." She replies, smiling at Logan. "What about you?" She asks. "Oh, I've been good. Mom came by the other day to tell me that she was off to the spa for a month, and that she'll call once she's through with her treatment." She says, looking at Logan, who nods and rolls his eyes.
They enjoy a dinner full of light banter and chatter, and Rory no longer feels insecure about Honor's feelings towards her. She feels a new bond with her, and even Josh, who came off as quiet at first, but actually contributed to the conversation quite a bit.
"You two must come to visit more often." Honor says as they're walking towards the door. "We will." Logan promises, hugging his sister before leaving. "Bye Honor, bye Josh. Thank you so much for having us." Rory says, smiling at the pair.
"Your sister doesn't hate me!" Rory exclaims on their way to the car. "She's always had a soft spot your you, Ace. I told you that." "Yeah, I know, but it's still nice to know. I'm really glad she doesn't hate me because I like her a lot." "I'm glad."
After an hour, the car stops outside Rory's apartment building. "Paris texted me about a half an hour ago that she was going to be here late, her train got delayed, and they only started on their way a little bit ago." Rory says. "Do you want to come up seeing as the apartment will be Paris free for a little longer?" Rory asks. "I'd love to." Logan says, grinning.
