Kissing Lorelai.
I’m serious! After I kissed her, nothing was ever the same again. I don’t just mean my relationship with her, either, or even the way things were in town. The gossip, the way people looked at me...I’ve never cared what people thought, and I don’t deal in Patty and Babette’s stock in trade, know what I mean?
It was like...you know how it is when you close your eyes while standing in direct light? You close ‘em too long, and when you open them, everything is...it’s like the world’s lit up from the inside. The light is brighter, colors are more vibrant...images are sharper, and you just see more.
Kissing her wasn’t like anything I ever felt. It was like my whole body woke up for the first time in that same way. I noticed sensations more, I saw more...this is gonna sound hokey as shit, but making that connection with her lit up the world from the inside. Like she was connected to everything, and I was connected to her.
I guess that kissing her...reaching out, *showing* her...it made my feelings real. Before that, I was just messing with my own heart. Took her to my sister’s wedding, asked her out...but I never really *said* it, or *did* it. I didn’t let her see what was really going through my head. I mean...there were signals, I was *real* clear, but I don’t do that. I never have. I think it, I feel it, I *say* it. No matter how bad it is or how damaging it might be.
But falling for Lorelai Gilmore...I couldn’t do it. Maybe because there *are* no words for falling in love with one of the Gilmore girls, y’know?
So...I kissed her. I didn’t have the words anymore, so I just grabbed her and...bam. I kissed her.
Kissing Lorelai’s how I told her how I feel...and my life changed that night.
The minute she told me how she felt right back.
