    (Belly kisses Conrad that first night, at the bonfire. somehow everything changes and stays the same.)

    Summary

    “It’s really you,” Jess says. “I mean, when your friend called me over — she’s got great name recognition skills, by the way, she should go on What’s That Name — I thought it might be, but…” Then he breaks out into a grin that has her heart skipping a beat. “What are the odds of this happening?”

    “Of me being at a party hosted by my coworker?” she asks, trying not to smile like a complete moron. She holds her thumb and forefinger a hair's width apart. “Not so big.”

    “In a city of eight million, you always seem to run into someone you know, don’t you?”

    Or: Nine months after they last met, Jess and Rory find themselves in the same city at the same time once more, but this time, both of them are there to stay.

    Summary

    In the library of a large, beautiful, historic house, Rory Gilmore runs into a boy with dark hair, smoking a cigarette, Chilton tie askew. She's still growing accustomed to all the strange faces that populate the school's hallowed halls, but she's seen him before. Poring over a paperback in lunch - the spine always cracked - making some witty but intelligent remark in class, or getting in the occasional argument with Paris Geller. She's noticed him before. Now she can never forget him.

    Jess Mariano's life has taken a strange turn over the past year. His absurdly wealthy grandfather has plucked him out of the bowels of lower middle class obscurity and placed him in private school. For the first time in his life, he knows stability, equanimity, or his approximation of it, and, not for the first time of course, a profound restlessness and irritation with the stuck up brats who attend Chilton. He's not expecting Rory Gilmore. He's not prepared for her. He doesn't know if he can ever really be prepared for a hurricane.
