late night

"rory, it's one am what are you doing up?"

"eating" mumbles with a mouth full

turns on the kitchen light "did i hear right?"

nods and takes a bite

"what on earth"

"it's just ice cream mom" takes another bite then wipes her eyes

pulls out a chair "have you been crying?"

shakes head "i don't want to talk about" scoops more ice cream

sighs "pass the chocolate"

smiles softly and hands her the tub
