Chapter 35 Shira's Story

Rory woke up and rolled over. She wanted to snuggle with Logan. His side of the bed was cold. She could hear the boys in the playroom. She went to the bathroom, grabbed her robe, and headed out the bedroom door. She stopped at the boy's playroom. They were fussing. "Boys, have you had breakfast yet?" "No, ma'am," Will said. "Logan is on the phone, he told us to come get dressed. We didn't" Chris said with his head down. "Well, put the toys away and get dressed. I will go start breakfast."

When she came down the stairs, she could see Logan on the patio with his winter coat on talking on the phone. He did not seem very happy. She thought it was best to just leave him be for the time being. She is sure he will tell her if there is a problem.

The boys came down for breakfast, ready to eat. Rory fixed them some fruit and a pop tart. That is her go-to breakfast. When she sat down to eat, Logan entered. He was removing his coat. "Hey, you look cold. Couldn't find someone where else private to take the call. My office is a lot warmer." "I'm fine. Just had several phone calls back-to-back." "Anything I need to be concerned about?" Logan looked at her. "Yes, but we will talk later," He said looking at the boys.

Before they finished breakfast Karson came in. She fixed herself a cup of coffee and a pop tart. She sat down at the table as the boys were getting up. "Karson, didn't get a chance to talk, who was that guy you were talking to at the Dragonfly?" Karson's face turned red. His name is Matthew. He works at the Dragonfly. He is saving money to finish college." Rory was smiling. "Yes, I know Matthew. He seems to be a sweet boy. Just be careful. You know I am here if you want to talk." They sat and talked for a while. As Logan was getting up to take their dishes to the kitchen the doorbell rang. Logan went to the door. It was Patty. She was looking for Rory. She wanted to know where she should park the catering trucks. Logan instructed her to follow the drive to the back and she will see the servant's entrance.

Logan returned to the dining room. "that was Patty. She was not sure where you wanted the catering truck. I instructed her to follow the drive, she would see the servant's entrance. This is not your normal catering company?" Rory said, "No, I had some problems with the normal caterer. Because I do not use them on a regular basis, they could not hold a spot for me. I am using one that Mom uses sometimes to help Sookie." Logon just nodded his head as Rory got up to go to the kitchen to make sure Patty had everything she needed.

Karson went to get ready. She is taking the boys to Stars Hollow to spend some time with Lorelai and Luke. Rory just needed them to be out of her way while the caterers got everything ready. This company was full service. They clean, decorate, caterer, and clean up again. Rory was going to work in her office for a while so that she would be there to answer any questions but be out of their way.

Karson and the boys left, making sure what time they should return as Logan was descending the stairs. "Logan, what are your plans for today? I'm going to work for a while in my office so I will be out of the way but close." "I have to make some phone calls. I think I will go into the office. It should be quiet. No one is working today because of the party tonight." Logan kissed Rory as he was leaving. "Hey, call me if you need me, or just come to the office."

Rory went one more time to check on Patty and her crew. She grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to the pool house/office. While Rory was working on some editing that her publisher sent her, Logan was ringing the doorbell at the Huntzburger Manor. Evelyn answered the door. "Logan, is she expecting you?" "Good morning Evelyn, No I don't believe so. Is she here?" "Yes, she is still in her room. She has not been down this morning." Logan looked at his watch. It was almost 9:30. "Could you please tell her that I am in the study and would like for her to join me?" "Yes sir" Evelyn turned to head upstairs while Logon went to the kitchen for a cup of coffee.
