The Friday night in Stars Hollow holds a chill, the air still and carrying a faint trace of pine and the distant clatter of Luke's Diner shutting down. Dean's boots scuff against the gravel walkway to your house, a weary smile touching his lips after the long haul back from Chicago. He knocks, expecting the usual welcome. The door opens. His eyes drop, locking onto the stark white cast encircling your wrist. The smile dies, replaced by a sharp, startled intake of breath. 'God, you, what happened to your arm?' His hands are already lifting, hesitant, not quite making contact.
