AN ....This story began as a collaboration with anonymousgg16, with her encouragement and the editing help from ClaudiaCleland I decided to publish my first story. This story begins in May 2016, Rory returned to the east coast in 2013. After working on the Obama campaign she worked as a freelance journalist. A news broadcaster began to follow her stories and offered he a job as an intern. He then took her to NBC and when he left to be the Executive producer at CBS he asked her join him as an assistant producer. In 2014, Rory loses her grandfather Richard Gilmore and she meets the love of her life. But tragedy strikes again, not once but twice. This story will tell how she survived these terrible losses and finds her forever love with the help from her friends. I hope you enjoy this story.
