A/N Hopefully this chapter is good. It picks up RIGHT after the last chapter. This story really could just be all in one, or at least a lot of the chapters could be combined, but it is easier for me to write this way, and allows for more often updates, amongst other reasons.
She got up off her bead and walked over to the box. This was it. She stared down at it for a little, and then finally decided to do what she needed to do. She picked up the box and walked out of her room. She was just heading out the front door when Lorelai saw her.
"Woah, what are you doing?"
"I, uh, am just running an errand."
"I thought you were studying. What's in the box?"
"Oh, um, just some papers." Rory was faltering, and she knew her mom noticed. She really didn't lie, though, as there were papers in the box. Letters, in fact.
"And what are you going to do with the papers?" Lorelai had no idea what her daughter was doing, but she knew Rory was trying to hide something.
"I'm just running an errand. And going to Luke's. For coffee."
"Well, ok, be back soon! Don't think I forgot about that movie you promised me!" She figured Rory would tell her when Rory got back. She understood that Rory was in a hurry, so she let her go. It occurred to Lorelai that this "errand" must be far away to warrant such a big box, but it wasn't until Rory was all the way down the street and out of view that Lorelai realized Rory didn't take the car.
