In the early dawn light, the ring that he had placed on her finger seemed to glow, reflecting the happiness that shone from their eyes.

#02 - Hero
He had come back to show her that he had changed, but instead found himself forced to become a hero, saving her from the empty shell she had become.

He knew that he couldn’t stay near her, knowing that he kept hurting her more and more, and so he made his decision, and decided to run.

From the first time that he had read about angels, Jess had wanted to fly away from his miserable life with his mother; just fly away on wings of his own making, so he did.

#08 - Cold
On cold nights he remembered how empty his life had been after she rejected him, how he had wandered from city to city looking for a new home, all the while knowing that she was his home.

#09 - Red
Jess loved it when she blushed, the flush of red enhancing her innocence, yet proving that she was not immune to the bad boy either.

#10 - Drink
He knew there would be problems ahead, most stemming from the fact that her drink of choice, coffee, would be virtually banned from her for the next nine months, but he just smiled, knowing that it would be worth it in the end.

#11 - Midnight
Jess proposed at midnight,with the light of the moon providing the only brightness, claiming that it was the most beautiful time, a time when the darkness of night was overcome by the innocence of day.

#12 - Temptation
The night before the wedding was the first night that they went to bed without holding one another; the temptation to see each other, to just hold each other was too great, and they both ended up sneaking out, meeting in the Gazebo under the stars.

#13 - View
From his seat at his desk where he sat typing his newest book, he had a perfect view of the sacred coffee maker, and more importantly, the love of his life as she drank the wonderful coffee, slowly waking up to face the world around her.

He joked about their first dance being to “Guns of Brixton” for old times’ sake, but agreed with her when she chose “Iris” instead, knowing that the music didn’t really matter in the end.

#15 - Silk
Of all the things he remembered from their honeymoon, Jess remembered removing her thin, silk nightgown, exposing her pale skin inch by inch, as the sounds of her sighs filled the air.

#16 - Cover
It was simple and black, but the cover of the book, The Subsect, by Jess Mariano, still brought a smile to his face, even after five more novels.

The first night he spent in Stars Hollow, he dreamt of the life in New York he had been ripped away from, and of the blue-eyed girl who shared his love of reading.

They ate their dinner by the light of a single candle the week after they moved into their new house, because the power went out, and she had forgotten to buy candles when she went to the grocery store earlier that day.

#20 - Talent
During his years in New York, Jess had developed a talent for persuading people to do almost anything, which came in very useful when he convinced Rory to go out with him for ice cream, when he convinced her to become his girlfriend for the second time, when he convinced her to marry him, when he convinced her that she would make a good mother, and when he convinced her that it was okay for their daughter to date a boy with a motorcycle.

#21 - Silence
She used to get annoyed by his silence, but over the years, she has learned that he actually manages to say more through his gestures and actions, than most people manage to say in an entire conversation.

She spent the car ride to Philadelphia analyzing every single moment of their journey together, but when she left his bookstore, Rory felt like she was making the biggest mistake of her life.

#23 - Fire
The fire flashed through the darkness surrounding the bridge as Jess lit another cigarette while waiting for the Gilmores’ Movie Night to finally end.

#24 - Strength
When she saw him arrive at Luke’s Diner, it took all her strength to keep herself from running up to him, throwing her arms around him, and begging him for forgiveness.

#25 - Mask
It took Rory months to finally understand that his devil-may-care attitude was nothing more than a mask protecting the part of him that was afraid of getting hurt.

#26 - Ice
The ice that glistened throughout Stars Hollow served as a reminder to them both that magical things, like her mother’s wedding and their second first kiss as an official couple, did in fact happen when it snowed.

#27 - Fall
As she walked across the street reading Pride and Prejudice, Rory didn’t step onto the sidewalk in time; Jess caught her before she could fall.

#28 - Forgotten
As she packed up her things, she came across a box of cds that she had forgotten about - the mixes Jess had made for her over the years.

#29 - Dance
Although she knew that it was tradition for the Best Man and Maid of Honor to dance together, she didn’t think that Jess would shed his bad boy reputation to dance with her at her mother’s wedding.

Two weeks after she announced that she was pregnant, Rory awoke to find that Jess had built her a coffee shrine so that she wouldn’t be completely separated from her sacred elixir of life.

#32 - Farewells
When he was younger, Jess developed a habit of sneaking out - back then it was because he wanted to avoid making excuses about where he was going - by the time he was seventeen, it was because he hated all farewells.

#33 - World
At seventeen, she wanted to travel around the world reporting news events, but by age thirty, she just wanted to stay home with Jess and their daughter after submitting her article for the local paper.

#34 - Formal
The Friday Night Dinner right after he and Rory got engaged was the longest night of his life; her grandparents had decided upon having an extremely formal dinner to introduce the happy couple to their society friends.

#35 - Fever
When Rory caught the flu virus that was going around, and was stuck in bed due to her high fever, Jess took care of their daughter; he took her to work with him, cooked for her, and read to her.

#36 - Laugh
He loved hearing her laugh, and couldn’t bear to go through a day without hearing it; she loved his laugh because she so rarely heard it, as he typically conveyed his emotions with his eyes.

#37 - Lies
He always feared that she would leave him one day, giving in to the pressure from the townspeople, believing their lies that he was a loser who would never amount to anything, but she never did.

#38 - Forever
As they danced together at his uncle’s wedding, Jess realized that he wanted to spend forever with Rory, and silently vowed never to let her go.

#39 - Overwhelmed
Whenever Rory had a particularly stressful week and she felt completely overwhelmed, Jess and Lorelai worked together to plan a movie marathon to help her relax.

#40 - Whisper
When she woke up at 3 am, Rory expected to hear her daughter crying to be fed like she did every night, but instead she heard Jess whispering to the baby, telling her stories about their years together.

#41 - Wait
Although they got engaged during her senior year at Yale, Rory and Jess decided to wait to get married until a year after her graduation.

#42 - Talk
Jess never got annoyed with her mindless chatter, he knew he’d rather hear Rory talk for hours with her mother than listen to The Ramones, but he wouldn’t tell her - he had a reputation to maintain.

#43 - Search
Every time she went into a bookstore, Rory searched for books in three categories: the classics, books by journalists, and books written by Jess Mariano.

#44 - Hope
When she headed for their bridge on the first night of Jess’s return to Stars Hollow, Rory couldn’t help but hope that he was here because he still loved her, not just because he was the best man at the wedding.

#45 - Eclipse
After they began dating again, people asked Rory how she could be with Jess after all the times he had left her; she told them that the person he had become eclipsed the person he had been, and that that was all that mattered.

#46 - Gravity
Stressful days at work made Jess feel like he was being thrown around as if gravity had no hold on him; a simple touch from Rory brought everything back into focus - she was his sanity.

#47 - Highway
Enjoying their ice cream and cones with the windows down, the music blaring, and the highway moving rapidly below them, was heaven in his eyes.

#48 - Unknown
At twenty-two, Jess prepared to venture into the unknown of adulthood as he made all the plans for that night - the night he proposed to Rory.

#49 - Lock
Jess kept all of his notebooks locked in a box when he wasn’t writing in them, because he didn’t want to jinx his work by letting Rory read anything before he had finished writing.

#50 - Breathe
As Rory began to walk down the aisle, Jess had to remind himself to breathe, because he knew he’d never be forgiven, and he’d never hear an end to the mocking, if he passed out at his own wedding.
