Shadows and Sunlight ♡ Rory Gilmore

lacey geller has spent her whole life living in the shadow of paris geller - chilton's brightest, loudest, most unstoppable force.

she's the softer one. the kinder one. the sister no one really notices unless it's about grades or college applications.

after a year in europe trying to figure out who she is without comparison, lacey returns to chilton determined to step into her own light.

she doesn't expect rory gilmore.
she doesn't expect friendship that feels like safety.
and she definitely doesn't expect feelings that change everything.

but some shadows only exist to make the sunlight brighter.

and lacey is finally ready to be seen.
