I got out of the shower and Lane was sitting on my bed on her phone. She smiled up at me and motioned for me to sit down while she blow dried my hair. Sensing my nervousness, Lane started talking.
La= After I'm done drying your hair, I will curl it, then we will get you into the outfit I picked out, you will be alluring at the party and almost untouchable as you congratulate Honor and expertly hide your nerves as you talk with the boys.
I smiled as she really did read my mind, she always had. She finished my hair and then I put on the outfit she had picked out.

She then brushed my hair aside and looked me in the eyes.
La= I know that your nervous Rory, but you can't be, know that you are Lorelai Gilmore. Walk in there confident ok?
I gave her the biggest hug and grabbed the briefcase and some cute heels before jumping into my jeep to Hartford.
I arrived at the party and it was the understatement of the year when Logan had told me it was a quiet gathering. I saw Logans family and friends and family friends. It seemed like hundreds of people were packed into this enclosed space that was expertly decorated with gold. Just as it seemed that I was getting used to the party as a whole, a pair of hands encircled my waist and a gruff voice spoke in my ear.
Unknown= Now love you can't sneak in here past the old Finny boy
I turned around and gave the biggest hug to Finn, my old best pal at Yale. It felt like years had packed themselves into months since I had seen Finn and Colin.They both looked just as joyous and intoxicated as ever. And from right behind Colin walked the woman of the hour, Honor.
She squealed and in response so did I. About five months pregnant, Honor was glowing like a new bride and smiled as she hugged me. Her face seemed flawless and her eyes full.
H= Oh Rory, it has been too long since I have had some proper company such to fit your beautiful self.I love the hair and you look just fantastic.
And suddenly all the worry that Honor wouldn't want to see me there vanished.
R= I could say the same to you Mummy dearest! Wow I have never seen you look so happy
Just as I finished that thought my eyes caught hold of something I would have thought I would never see again, Logan.
