Room 213 [after the party]

Rory wandered back to her room, and pulled her compter off her desk, flopping onto her bed and beginning the meticulous process of uploading all the pictures she'd take at the party.

And in the meantime, she finally got email from Paris.

Rory blinked and sent a reply.

Care to elaborate?

And a few moments later, she got one back.

Are you bringing anyone? And yeah, of course - meet for dinner? Coffee? What?

Bringing the sekrit boy, yeah. School project. Coffee'd be good, since I think I get dinner with Emily and Richard, eep.

Poor you. But yeah, love to meet your secret (I refuse to say 'sekrit') boyfriend.

Yeah. Don't judge him when you meet him, okay? He...dresses weirdly. It's part of the whole "Fandom is weird" thing, and his thing I told you about, with the order?

You know me, Gilmore. Cool as a cucumber.

Rory read Paris' last response and feared.

And then, her sense of dread not improving, she typed off another email - because she knew if she didn't, it would be so. much. worse. in the long run.

Hey, Grandpa (and Grandma)!

So, it turns out a friend and I will be making a trip to Connecticut this Friday for a school project - are you available for dinner? We won't be able to stay long, but I figured that since we're in the area and all....

Love, Rory
