Why this must be read:
I ship Rory with a lot of characters. Rory changes herself to suit whoever she's with- her mother, a love interest, the townies- her interactions are never static. Her relationship with Paris is one of the most challenging she's involved in, and Paris always demands that Rory test her boundaries (though Paris is awfully fond of her own). In Boston Marriage, she does so in an especially hilarious and Paris-like manner. This story is most immediately funny, but upon reading it a second time (and you will want to) the nuances of the ways the girls interact are striking in their detail and grace.
"I would like to make you a proposal."
"Well, ask your assistant to type something up and have it on my desk before close of business."
"Rory, I'm serious."
"Yes," Rory said, marking her place in her book with her hand. "Yes, I'm sure you are."
"As I said, I would like to make you a proposal."
"I'm going to be very disappointed if you don't have a PowerPoint presentation."
"Dammit!" Paris said. She blew her hair out of her face with an angry puff. "Dammit, I told Terrence that you'd be expecting it, I said that if one wants to be taken seriously then one must present oneself seriously --"
"Paris --"
"I told him that PowerPoint quantifiably raises the threshold of agreement by six percentage points, any idiot knows that, but no, he said, don't do it, he said, ordinary people find PowerPoint cold and off-putting in interpersonal relationships, he said, and like a fool I listened. I listened to what a man who wears a poncho and puka shells has to say about interpersonal relationships. When will I learn?"
"Paris," Rory said. "I was kidding. I'm glad there's no PowerPoint. I hate PowerPoint. I do find it cold and off-putting in interpersonal relationships, although, actually, I also find ponchos cold and off-putting in interpersonal relationships." Paris huffed again impatiently. "Sorry. I was just kidding."
"Kidding," Paris said. "You like that."
