Gilmore Girls
Postcards From the Edge by Macha
After Rory's graduation from Chilton, Lorelai really does stop by Luke's diner and ask him not to get engaged while she's gone.
R - Lorelai/Luke - Finished
Macha's characterizations are spot on. Her writing is simple and effective and her dialogue sounds as though it could be lifted straight from the show. She's who I read when I want my Gilmore Girls fix and don't have a DVD player at hand.
"Café!" Lorelai interrupted, giving Luke her best pleading expression, actually batting her eyelashes in his direction. "Please, Luke, have mercy on me and give me big, fat, rude, strong American coffee!"
She looked well-rested, Luke decided, feeling the fatigue settle more heavily into his muscles. His temper flared. "Coffee and...?" he prompted, his tone brusque.
Oblivious, Lorelai turned to Rory. "What's American that we won't be able to eat for weeks and weeks?"
"Hamburgers?" Rory suggested with a shrug.
Luke grimaced. "It's 9:40 in the morning."
"So?" Lorelai asked, eyes sparkling.
"No burgers."
"Spoilsport," Lorelai told him.
