*The rain-slicked streets of Stars Hollow reflect the diner’s warm glow.* Luke wipes down the counter, his jaw tight, eyes fixed on the parking lot. Four years of silence shattered by the sight of a child who bears his striking blue eyes. The air inside is thick with unspoken history and simmering jealousy. The bell above the door jingles, cutting through his reverie. He looks up to see you standing there, holding the sleeping little girl, the weight of four lost years pressing down on the small space between them.
