Chapter 10 Weekend with Family

Having the parent's meet for the first time was a success. He had originally wanted to wait until they had been dating longer than a week, but he knew that he needed Lorelai and Luke on his side. His mother already approved of Rory. She didn't care who her grandparents were, but when she met her, and her mother and stepfather Amanda was thrilled. Amanda and Liam had a lot in common with Lorelai and Luke since both families were involved in the hospitality industry. Ashlyn, his sister, was intrigued by the story of the Dragonfly Inn and was anxious to go and visit it. She had heard the name Sookie St. James before and couldn't wait to meet her. A magazine had done an article about her and her food, and because of this article, the Dragonfly Inn had earned a five-star rating on all the travel magazines and was always booked.

Finn convinced Rory to spend that night at his apartment with him. She realized that she was ready for this to happen the next morning she returned to her home to shower and change. Finn planned on picking her up after his meeting. Robert had texted Finn that morning letting him know that they all had spent the night in the city and thanked him for the VIP passes. He also told them that Logan and Sloane had stayed with him.

Rory had returned home showered, changed and was relaxing reading a book when her doorbell rang. Thinking it was Finn she opened the door. Standing on her doorstep was Logan.

"Logan."

"Ace, you look beautiful. Can I come in?"

"Um..I don't know. Logan....I am seeing someone."

"Is he here? I would like to meet him."

Rory stepped out onto her doorstep and closed her door leaving it slightly ajar.

"No, he will be here soon."

She paused and then asked, "Logan, how did you find me?"

"Ace," he reached out to take her hand and she moved away.

Looking at her he said, "I happened to see your grandmother the other day at the country club and she told me. She gave me your phone number, but it doesn't work. Were you aware that it wasn't working Ace?"

"Oh, I had an accident and my phone was damaged. I had to get another phone. I went with a different cellphone company and they changed the number. I haven't had time to update everyone yet. They told me that they would forward my new numbers to my contacts, but I guess they haven't completed it yet."

He took a step closer to her, "Ace, May I come in? I want to talk. I am leaving tonight to go back to London, but I will be back next month for Robert's Gallery opening?"

"Robert? Is he in town too?" she asked him, "An Art Gallery? I never expected that Robert would be interested in Art."

"Well his family does, and he does photography. His work is amazing. I would like to take you to see it. We could get the old gang together again, Finn, Colin, Steph... just like it used to be."

"Logan. I can't I am seeing someone."

Rory heard her phone ring, "Listen Logan I've got to go. Send me an email or something. Maybe we can have coffee when you're in town again. The phone began to ring again, this time she knew it was her mother as soon as she heard the song "Walk like an Egyptian" by the Bangles.

"Logan I have to go,"

Logan pulled her hands into his and leaned in to kiss her. She turned her head so that he kissed her cheek. "Ace.."
