Part II:
Slowly and calm the snow began to fall. Lorelai looked out the window. "Finally", she said to herself. She sat at the very same table, where Rory left her five hours ago. She hadn’t been able to move. So she just kept on drinking the coffee, her favorite drug in the world, that Cesar, Luke’s help in the diner, was bringing her accordingly. Thinking about the weird incident with Luke, she felt more and more uncomfortable about the talk. Luke didn’t come back. This was most unusual, because he never leaves his diner for more than two hours.
In the park, 2 miles away from Lorelai, Luke remembered the first snow last year. He had a wonderful talk with Lorelai. She explained to him, why the first snow of the season always had something magical for her. At that moment Luke thought, there were feelings on her side, only to discover, that she had a date with her future husband a few hours later. "Okay, it turned out, that she didn’t love him enough to marry him, but this doesn’t mean that she has any feelings for me.", Luke tried to shoot these thoughts out of his mind. He looked around. The snow lay all around him. Suddenly he felt like going back to his beloved little diner. So he stood up and slowly walked back.
In the meantime, Lorelai, too, stood up and slowly stepped out into the freezing winter night. Still deep buried in her thoughts she didn’t realize that she hadn’t even pay for her coffee. But Cesar wasn’t saying everything to her, he just thought, "She’ll come here tomorrow, so there’s no need to worry. Maybe the 15 cups of coffee made her weary."
Lorelai walked straight home, on her way she met her daughter, who was immediately worried, as she looked at her absent mother. "Hello? Mom? I was asking you something!". "Hmh? Sorry, hon, I was thinking about something. What did you say?" Lorelai focused on Rory now. " I asked, what you have been doing all day? Went shopping with Sookie?" Rory said, looking confused at her mom. She never was like that, she always listened to her. The chat between Luke and her mom came back to her mind. "There has to be something wrong!"
"No, Rory, I was just sitting at the diner all day." Lorelai replied, now a little bit more aware what she was saying. "All day? What have you done there?" Rory asked, a little surprised. She knew that her mother was a coffee junkie but not that much of a junkie. "Waiting for Luke of course. What do you think?" Lorelai grinned, as she saw the motionless face of her 17- years old daughter. "No of course not, I was just drinking coffee and chatted with Ms. Patty and Babette, and I just lost a little track of time." Rory, again knew that her mother was lying, and she wondered, if her first sentence had some truth in it.
Luke arrived at the diner. He was freezing. Cesar welcomed him warmly: "Hey, boss, were have you been, my break was two hours ago!" "I’m very sorry, Cesar, you can go home now, I will be done soon. And thanks, buddy!" he added as Cesar walked out of the door. Luke began to count his money. After a few minutes he noticed a paper from Cesar. "Lorelai Gilmore didn’t pay today – just walked out of the diner – she had 15 cups of coffee. I just think she’s gonna pay tomorrow. Cesar." Astonished, Luke read the paper again and again. "15 CUPS of coffee? Is she crazy? Oh, well, yes, she is. But that’s not normal, not even for her." After thinking a little bit further he realized, that Lorelai must have been in the diner the whole day. "Was she waiting for me?" That thought occurred to Luke’s mind. "Don’t be a jerk", he told to himself and went upstairs to bed.
Lorelai was lying in her bed, too. But she couldn’t get her head around Luke and his weird proposal, that he never finished. Lorelai wasn’t even enjoying the first snow this year. After hours of thinking and wondering about Luke, his feelings, her feelings, snow and Luke, she finally fell to sleep.
"Mom!!!", Rory tried to hide Lorelai’s sheet to get her up, "Get up, I’m serious you have to get up, we’re missing our window shopping day!" Lorelai opened her eyes, slowly she began to remember why she was so tired, she hadn’t slept till 5 o’clock. "Coming!" she finally said and got up. As they got dressed, drank a cup of coffee, the two of them made their way into the small town, called Stars Hollow. They loved everything about there, the trees, the streets and even the noisy, curious and sometimes a little weird people of Stars Hollow. "Mom?", Rory asked her mother, "Can we go to Luke’s? Today’s Danish day!" Lorelai looked like she would say no, but then she thought: "I can’t let her know....". So she said, "Sure, why shouldn’t we?". "Alright, then it’s planned", Rory said enthusiastically.
In the meantime, Luke was busy in his diner. He had given Cesar a day off, because he wanted to bury himself in work to forget about the incident with Lorelai. It worked out fine, until....."Luke!! Don’t say you have no Danish anymore! Mom, I hate you. Why didn’t you get up earlier?" Rory, almost shouted. "Cool down, kiddo, you didn’t even ask Luke whether he has some, or not." Lorelai answered with a smile. "Of course, I have some for you, Rory, I always keep them for you, you know that." Luke said and blushed a little. "You do?" Rory asked surprised. "Well, yeah, for you and your mother only." "That’s very sweet of you," Lorelai whispered, just as loud that only Luke could hear it.
"I’ll go pick up Lane", Rory said and vanished behind the doors. "Alright then, here are your Danish, Lorelai", Luke said and handed the candy to his opposite. As Lorelai took it, their hands touched. Lorelai felt like a lightning had hit her hands. She looked up directly into Luke’s eyes. Again, she saw the familiar blue eyes turn into black. "Lorelai,.....I......", Luke mumbled. But Lorelai turned. "Luke, I have to go." With these words she ran out of the diner. "Wait! You didn’t pay!" Luke shouted, but Lorelai already was out of earshot. "Damn it!" he cursed to himself, "What was that all about? Why can’t I tell her? Stupid Jerk!"
