Lorelai came down the stairs silently still in her pyjama, her hair disshelved. She overheard Mia telling Luke he looked horrible, urging him to tell her what’s wrong.
“God, Mia, I don’t know what to do…” Luke confessed as he poured his friend some coffee. “Lorelai’s been having nightmares for the last weeks and they keep getting worse. She can’t sleep without me there and even when I’m there she wakes up screaming from another bad dream. She won’t tell me what happened or talk to me about it and I’m really trying to be supportive and everything, but it’s eating me up inside. I know this is something really selfish to say but it’s terrible to be this close to her and not… be close. I mean, we haven’t kissed in those many days and… I don’t know… “
Lorelai leaned against the doorframe, closing her eyes, sighing. “Has she talked to anyone? Maybe she should see a professional…”
“I already suggested that and she only said that she made terrible experiences with shrinks… She’s been hiding out here ever since and I don’t even know how the firm’s doing cause she hasn’t been there for a long time. I only remember she said something about expanding in LA and that being really important, but… I don’t know how that’s going, I hope she’s not neglecting this cause it’s important to her…” “Luke, she needs her time, she can’t jump right into work after this” “She’s always been a workaholic, firm comes before everything, it’s just that I don’t want to see it go to waste cause she’s worked so hard to get where she is right now.”

Lorelai decided it was time to end this conversation and her eavesdropping on it and walked up the stairs silently, showering and getting dressed. She scrubbed herself raw with the sponge, hoping to feel less dirty afterwards, to wash his scent off her but she wasn’t able to, as always. The bad memories still clung to her like her shadow and she’d give anything now to be Peter Pan. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a pullover and went downstairs again. this time announcing herself by bolting down the stairs.

Luke’s ears perked up when he heard her coming down and he poured his girlfriend some coffee, holding the mug out to her as she appeared from the curtains. She took the cup gratefully, drowning it at once, smiling afterwards. “Uhm, Luke?” she tugged at his sleeve shyly. “Mhm?” he answered, adding up some numbers, scribbling on the pad.
“Can I.. talk to you? Upstairs?” He placed the pad on the counter, wondering what she was up to. He followed her up the stairs, slapping himself mentally for thinking how great her ass looked in these jeans. He cleared his throat and focused on something else, anything else.
She walked into his apartment, motioning him to sit at the table while she paced the room.

“I… heard your conversation with Mia.” she began hesitantly and added hastily “It wasn’t on purpose, I just came down and I overheard it accidentally. And you were right. Both of you. I can’t neglect my firm any longer and I can’t torture you like this anymore. So I figured I’d move back into my house, to be not so close to you anymore and so you can get on with your life.”
“No, no, Lorelai! I won’t let you run now. Especially not now, after all that has happened. I understand you need time and I’m not blaming you. In fact, I’m blaming myself for having these thoughts and … I mean it’s not easy, but I try and even if I have to try for another year or so, I wouldn’t mind.. am I making any sense?” Lorelai nodded and Luke could literally hear the wheels in her head turning.

“Mhm… Well, I have to get on with my life nevertheless, I’m gonna go back and retake my place as the head of the firm, I’m gonna have to work harder than before because I lost a lot of time while I was gone and I also lost a lot of money waiting so long. But it’s gonna be okay, I just gotta work … hard”
She sighed and sunk down on a chair, resting her face in her hands. Luke scooted closer to her and put an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close.
“You can do this… I know!”
“How?”
“Huh?”
“How do you know??”
“I know, okay, I know, now we’re gonna go downstairs and you’ll get something to eat, you haven’t eaten regularly in the past weeks.”
“Just.. one more thing” He looked at her questioningly
“I wanna go on a vacation… after the firm’s okay again. Could you manage to get off from work for at least 2 or 3 weeks?”
“Uh, sure” he answered, surprised.

“Hon, why do you wanna go on vacation?” She looked up into his eyes “Cause I wanna spend some time… alone… to work on our…closeness.” He chuckled at her using his words from earlier, nuzzling his nose against hers lovingly, then pulling her up and out the door, down to the diner.
