   Summary

   Set during/after Season 3, Episode 20 (Say Goodnight, Gracie) when Jess leaves Stars Hollow.

   Jess Mariano knows how to run—he’s been doing it his whole life. From his mother’s broken promises, from the fights he couldn’t win, from every place that ever tried to hold him. Now, on a bus to California, the road stretches endlessly ahead, but the past lingers in the rearview mirror of his life. Memories of childhood ghosts, missed chances, and words left unsaid haunt him with every mile.

   One-shot.
