Chapter 14 Plan

October 2, 2011

After the Fall Festival, Finn decided to take his brother's advice and talk to Rory about Logan. They need to be honest with each other. But first they were going to meet Robert at the bar at the Manor House Hotel. It was a little after five when they arrived at the bar. Robert and his date were seated at a booth having drinks. Finn noticed him first, Rory whispered to Finn that she wanted to use the ladies room and went inside. As she was exiting the ladies room door she ran into Logan.

"Ace what are you doing here?" He said pulling her in for a hug.

He went to kiss her, and she turned her cheek and gave him an air kiss and quickly took a step back.

"Logan, this is a surprise. I was away for the weekend and just received your email today. I thought you were in London."

"I had some business to take care of in NYC and came in last night, I just stopped by to see Finn."

Thinking fast she said, "I came to meet Paris and Doyle. They were supposed to come into Hartford for a Chilton reunion. I just arrived myself."

"Why don't we sit together, I would like to see Paris and Doyle again."

Rory feels her phone buzz and notices that it is from Finn, "Could you excuse me for a minute Logan. I have to take this call."

She walks back into the Ladies' room and answers it.

"Finn, Logan is here. I just ran into him coming out of the ladies' room. Is this Robert's surprise?"

She hears Finn say something to Robert, "No, he is just as surprised as I am. What do you want to do?"

"I told him that I was waiting for Paris and Doyle, so I am going to call them and see if they can come down to meet me. I know they are in Hartford this weekend. Her parents were having some sort of party and Terrance had convinced her and Doyle to attend. Maybe they are ready to leave the Geller home."

"Okay, I see Logan over at the bar Luv. I will go and distract him, so you can make your phone call. Ror, text me and let me know what you plan to do."

Rory quickly dials Paris' number, she listens to it ring three times and then Paris picked up.

"Paris, are you and Doyle ready to leave the party? I happen to be back from Stars Hollow and I am at the new Manor House Hotel at the bar. I came to meet some friends, but Logan is here."

"Rory, you called just in time. Sure we can leave, in fact I have a friend of ours that we haven't seen in a long time. I will bring him along too. We will be there in about five minutes."

"Great I will be waiting in the lobby."

She sends Finn a quick message and slips out to the lobby. As she is standing there she runs into Mia and Angus.

"Rory, where's Finn? I thought you were meeting friends from college here tonight?" Mia asked.

"We are, but Logan showed up, so I just called friends of mine from high school and they are coming. Please if you go into the bar, pretend you don't know me, ok?'"

"Sure, you know you both have to face Logan sooner or later," Angus told her with concern in his voice.

"I know but...it's so complicated and I am just finding out how much Finn cared for me and I realize how much I care for him too."

Just then Paris, Doyle, and Tristan Dugray walked into the hotel lobby. Tristan took one look at Rory and smiled. The three of them walked over to Rory each giving her a hug.
