Chapter 13

Logan arrives back in New York and jumps right back into his normal routine at work trying to catch up all the paperwork from when he took his trip to California to check on the new prospect. As he sits at his desk looking over the paperwork his mind keeps jumping around to ideas that he can do to show Rory how serious he is about about their agreement. Suddenly an idea comes to mind he grabs his phone. He looks up the number to a florist in Hollywood and dials the number.

“Christina’s Florist, How may I help you?”

“Yes, I need to place an order for 11 red roses and one white silk rose in the center and have them delivered to the Pussycat Doll Lounge on Hollywood Blvd.”

“Okay,  Name and when would you like them to be delivered?”

“Logan Huntzberger and Tomorrow if possible.”

“Absolutely.Your total is 35.67 is there anything you would like written on the card”

“Ok. And yes please have it say”...he pauses to think ... “I will love you till the last rose dies. Love, Logan. ” Logan continues and gives his credit card information to the saleswoman and confirming the delivery and hangs up his phone.

Logan stops for a moment to think and suddenly it hits him…

Flashback

Logan and Rory were cuddled up on the couch watching Casablanca when Rory starts to talk out of nowhere.

“Hey Logan, did I ever tell you the story about the yellow daisies?” she asked as she looked over at him with a bright smile.

“No, Ace you didn't... What about yellow daisies?” he asked returning the smile loving how excited she was about this.

“Well, in high school my mom was dating my teacher Mr.Medina. Him and my mom were arguing and he proposed to her. Mom told him the proposal had to be magical and that it had to include a thousand yellow daisies. So when mom arrived at work which was the Independence Inn she found that there were not 999 but a 1000 yellow daisies delivered and set up all over. Mom sat down in the middle of the room and she was so happy as she looked around. Michel was so mad at all of it. He called them peasant flowers. Mom calIed Max and he told her she was right and he was sorry. “I don't want an answer right now but think about it.” I will never forget there were so many she gave them out to the whole town.” Rory laughed at the memory.

“He must have cared about your mom a lot huh?”

“Yeah, he did sadly she decided she couldn't marry him and came into my room telling me to pack and that we were going on a road trip. We left the weekend they were supposed to get married.”

Wow, that had to be hard on him… losing a Gilmore is tough… Where did you go on your trip?”

“ We started out with nowhere in mind not using maps or anything. We ended up at this bed and breakfast inn that used to belong to a friend of moms but he had sold it. It was awful… We found out we were near Harvard so we went and walked into someone's dorm and took pictures . I even crashed a class and sat in participating in the lecture.”

“Your kidding right?” Logan laughs that was his “Ace” always interested in learning.

“Nope, I was even given props from the professor for giving good answers.” she shook her head with a glimmer in her eyes.

“You never cease to amaze me Ace.”

Rory didn't reply for a moment lost in thought as Logan watched her trying to figure out what she was thinking when she finally spoke…
