It was October 29th; the invitation came in the mail three weeks before the event. It was a combination Halloween Party/Gallery opening hosted by Olivia and Robert. Finn and Rory were excited to attend this event, and they decided to dress up as the two characters in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, this was one of Rory's favorite movies. Both Finn and Rory loved watching the classic movies, and they had discussed many options, but she finally convinced Finn that this movie would be perfect for them.

Rory was dressed up as Holly Golightly, wearing a black Chanel gown with a white scarf around her neck. She wore her hair up similar to the way Audrey Hepburn had worn her hair in the movie. She placed the tiara on her head that her grandmother had given her and wore black pumps and long black gloves that she found at a vintage shop in the city. Finn wore a suit and borrowed one of his father's skinny ties. He combed his hair back and used some of Rory's styling gel to smooth out his curls. Finn escorted Rory from her home to the limousine that was waiting to take them to the city.

They arrived at the 303 Gallery on Park Ave South, where a red carpet was waiting for the guest to walk on. The boys were always attending red carpet events, something Rory had never done before. However, since Robert has become a well know photographer on both the east and west coast, it was only natural for him to alert the media and plan for the Red Carpet. The limousine that they were riding in pulls up in front of the gallery. Rory looks out of the window and sees all the people standing there behind the rope and many photographers from different papers who had been invited to attend this grand opening. She also notices the local news truck and the TMZ truck ready to interview the guest as they walked into the event.

Finn took Rory's hand in his. He realizes how nervous she is. He brings her hands to his lips and kisses it. Smiling at her, Finn steps out of the limo first. He straightens his jacket and looks around smiling at the photographers. He then reaches inside of the car to take her hand. Immediately the flash of the cameras are seen, and people are whispering to each other wondering who is on the arm of one of the most eligible bachelors in New York City. Rory adjusts her black mask that she is wearing and takes a deep breath to remind herself that she could do this. Closing her eyes, she pictured herself as Audrey Hepburn, smiling she links her arm in Finns. As they begin to walk into the Gallery, Finn turns halfway around and dips Rory in a passionate kiss.

"Got to show them that I have the most beautiful woman in the world on my arms, Love," he whispers to her as he straightens her up. She smiles and kisses him on the cheek. Behind them are Steph and Colin dressed as Daisy and Jay from the Great Gatsby. Finn sees them, and they wait for them to catch up. Steph had a silver glitter mask on her eyes. They stand together for a group photo. The boys, however, are not wearing any masks. It wouldn't make any difference if they did because the New York Press knew that these two wealthy bachelors are always together.

Finn and Rory are not aware that Logan and his new fiancé have flown in from London to attend this event. Rory has been talking to Logan on the phone occasionally since receiving the flowers from him on her birthday. She called Tristan and Logan and thanked them both. She told Logan that she was dating someone from Hartford that she had known for a long time and was happy. When Logan heard this, he immediately called Finn again questioning him about who Rory was dating. He could not understand how Finn had not run into Rory again since that night at his hotel. Hartford was not very big. Finn explained to him that he was busy and recently he had met someone that his family approved. His parents were anxious to see him settle down after the problems he had last year.
