I enjoyed this story. I hope you choose to continue it or have a short follow-up with Jess/Luke.

At first, it sounded like Liz was in rehab for Christmas - I suppose because of her drug use in Pay the Piper. I like the twist that she's in a mental health care facility; going to be interesting to see how she got there and what prompted Jess to make that call. Can't wait for an update!

Good Chapter & More Please

Ooohhh... I'm intrigued.

Hmm, interested interested to see where you're gonna get the Liz/Jess relationship. You've chosen an interesting perspective, so I'll be looking forward to the next chapter. :):)

"He didn't wanna know how he'd seen her." - I felt like that "He" at the beginning of the sentence should have been italicized (for emphasis). And is "dead-pan" really an adverb? It seemed odd the way you worded that... I got what you meant though. You also forgot the period after "Lorelai actually flinched" lol. ;) And the end kinda was weird to me too, I didn't quite get it. The "before they returned to the banter of coffee, life, the universe…and everything." the banter of the universe?

Idk. Sorry I'm so confused by that last line. The rest of it was perfect though! I wish it was more of a Luke/Jess chapter haha, I thought this might be a oneshot when I clicked it and since it was categorized as Luke/Jess I was looking forward to reading some Luke/Jess. But I realize now it's not. It's a new multi-chapter by you and yay I can't wait to read the next chapter. :D You're amazing. Keep up the great work.

This is the concept of Liz with a specific mental illness that you've been wanting to write about and I'm enjoying it so far, it's unique! And per usual everyone feels perfectly in character, which is always very impressive. ;)
