dreamy; faraway smile that was Audrey?s trademark。 ?Don?t you justlove it here? Isn?t 
itwonderful waking up and knowing this place isright here ; every day? It?s my 


absoluteparadise 。? 

Blair waited for Ken Mogul?s response。 Those were the only lines she?d been given to say; and 
she?d said them perfectly; even if she did say so herself。 

Ken Mogul covered his bulging blue eyes with his hand and then pulled it roughly away again in 
a bizarre game of peekaboo。 He stared at Blair for a moment longer and then yelled; ?Next!? 

Blair dropped down off the stool and walked gracefully out of the restaurant to where Lord 
Marcus was waiting for her near the elevator doors。 He gathered her in his strong; capable; royal 
arms。 ?You were stunning;? he reassured her。 ?I was watching from the door。?

 Blair leaned her cheek against his chest; still in character。 ?I do love it here;? she sighed 
dreamily。 

The elevator doors rolled open and Serena and Nate stepped out。 

?Good luck!? Blair called out generously。 She took another drag on her cigarette holder and 
offered Nate a serene smile。 He smiled weakly back at her; looking a little red around the eyes; 
like he?d been crying; or; more likely; was extremely stoned。 But from where Blair stood; with her 
body pressed against her hunky British lord; that was really none of her concern。 

Then Lord Marcus kissed the back of Blair?s head; sending a little thrill down her spine。 The 
door to the ladies? lounge was right in front of them。 She took his hand and tugged him toward it。 

Nothing better than a little make…out session before breakfast。 

He?s e undone 

Nate was outside the hotel with the trunk show security guard; smoking a hand…rolled 
pot…mixed…with…tobacco cigarette。 The sun beat down on Fifth Avenue and Sixty…first Street; and 
with the masses of European tourists and clouds of bus exhaust; it felt more like late August than 
the last week in May。 

?Beautiful day;? the security guard; whose gold plastic name tag read DARWIN; remarked。 He 
was huge and bald and probably moonlighted as a nightclub bouncer。 He squeezed his eyes shut to 
ward off the bright; late…morning sun。 ?Summer is right around the corner。? 

Nate pressed his knuckles into his closed eyelids to keep the tears from streaming down his 
cheeks。 He could blame it on the sun; or he could blame it on being dragged along to a trunk show 
with a girl; but the truth was that lately he?d been; crying a lot。 It was the end of their senior year; 


and he was with Serena; the girl he?d loved forever?kind of。 It was like he was finally tasting the 
meal he?d been looking at under glass all those years。 He wanted to savor it; but everyone else 
was eating so quickly; there wasn?t time。 And there was also this nagging feeling that he?d 
ordered the wrong thing。 

Wait; doesn?t he mean the wrong girl? 

?Should I be worried about one of your girlfriends in there stealing something?? Darwin asked。 
He pulled a silvery blue cell phone out of his pants pocket; scrolled through a few text messages 
on the screen; then stuffed the phone back in his pocket。 He didn?t seem too worried。 Then again; 
why would someone with biceps that large get nervous about a few devious teenage girls? 

Blair had been known to shoplift; but not in front of her friends。 Nate had never heard about 
Serena shoplifting; but she had a naughty streak。 She would do it out of sheer boredom。 He 
shrugged。 ?Probably。? 

Just then the hotel porter opened the door and Blair skipped down the red…carpeted stairs; 
brushing past Nate with her pointed foxlike chin in the air and a white shopping bag with white 
tissue paper sticking out of it swinging back and forth from her hand。 

?She?scute ;? Darwin whistled。 

?Uh…huh;? Nate grunted; as if checking Blair out for the first time。 Her silky; dark hair had grown 
into a very French…looking short and sexy bob that suited her finely featured face and hot little 
body。 Oh; she was cute all right。 

And she was no longer his。 

?Want me to stop her? Check her bags?? Darwin offered。 

Nate puffed on his joint; considering how Blair would react if Darwin called her over。 The 
thought made him smile wistfully; and as he watched Blair disappear down the crowded block; 
fresh tears began to spill down his cheeks。 Bitchy and stubborn and selfish and neurotic; Blair was 
the epitome of high maintenance; but no matter how many times he?d fucked up; she?d always 
taken him back。 It usually started with a sidelong glance or an irate phone call; and then he?d 
show up at her door and they?d kiss and make up。 But Blair wasn?t sending him any 
if…you?re…really…nice…to…me…I?ll…consider…it vibes。 It seemed he?d fucked up for the last time。 
Besides; he was with Serena now; everybody?s dream girl。 

Everybody including him? 

The porter opened the door again; and Serena glided out of the hotel sporting a mint green linen 
Les Best tennis visor。 With her pale golden hair cascading down from beneath the visor; her long; 
tanned; athletic…even…though…she…got…no…exercise…except…for…gym…class legs; and radiant smile; she 


looked like an advertisement for the type of haute couture tennis clothes that were way too 
gorgeous to actually sweat in。 

?Taxi back to school?? she asked Nate with a sly wink。 She might have been too tired to walk; 
but she wasn?t too tired to fool around in the back of a taxi。 

Who could ever be too tired for that? 

Then she noticed the tears。 ?Poor baby;? she crooned; reaching out to dab at Nate?s cheeks with 
her thumb。 The crying had started a few days ago; and at first it had been sort of alarming。 What 
was a handsome stoner stud like Nate doingcrying? But then she?d grown to think of it as sexy 
and extremely touching。 Who knew Nate had such a sweet; gooey center? 

Darwin took a step forward。 He wasn?t about to let this blond bombshell get away as quickly as 
the hot brunette had。 ?You got a receipt for that hat; miss?? 

Serena reached up to touch the linen visor like she?d forgotten she was wearing it。 She bit her 
luxuriously full; cherry…ChapSticked lips。 ?Oops。? Her dark blue eyes flashed; challenging Darwin 
to arrest her。 ?I?m friends with the designer;? she declared。 

Darwin grinned?yet another guy to fall under her spell。 ?Aw; that?s okay;? he replied 
bashfully。 ?I guess I just wanted an excuse to talk to you。? 

Nate realized suddenly that he ought to have been jealous。 He took Serena?s dry; warm hand in 
his damp; tear…streaked one。 ?e on;? he urged; trying to sound manly and firm despite the 
quaver in his voice。 

?God; I love it when you fight for me;? Serena murmured。 She leaned her head against his 
shoulder and kissed his right ear。 He put his arm around her waist; encouraged by the strong curve 
of her hip。 They tripped down the steps; barely resisting the urge to tear each other?s clothes off 
right there in front of the hundreds of fanny…pack…toting tourists mobbing the Brooks Brothers 
flagship store across the street。 Their getting together might have been a total accident; but they 
were still two beautiful; irresistibly kissable people?why not take every possible opportunity to 
fool around? 

 Exactly。 

?Lucky guy。? Darwin whistled as he headed back inside to hit on Rain or Kati or whichever cute 
Constance girl had the most stuff in her bag。 

Nate fought back another rush of tears。 He was into Yale。 The most beautiful girl in the universe; 
whom he?d known forever; was practically begging him to do it with him in a taxi on the way 
back to school。 Hewas insanely lucky。 


So why couldn?t he stop the tears from falling? 

S gets to say her lines twice 

Serena worried that she should have dressed up like the other girls。 Would the director think she 
wasn?t trying hard enough because she hadn?t worn pearls and a black cocktail dress? Plus; she 
was blond and big…boned and tall and didn?t look a thing like Audrey Hepburn。 In fact; now that 
she thought about it; she really shouldn?t have been trying out for the part at all。

 Too late。 

?Oh; thank God;? Ken Mogul exclaimed when he saw her。 ?Go ahead。Action 。? 

Serena hadn?t bothered to Google Ken Mogul; and she didn?t know anything about his directing 
style; but she knew what the wordaction meant; and the minute she heard it; she started to do her 
thing。 

?How do you do?? she chirped brightly; holding her hand out to an imaginary bartender。 She took 
a seat and then spun once around on the bar stool; giggling and kicking her feet with girlish 
satisfaction。 ?Don?t you just love it here? Isn?t it wonderful waking up and knowing this place is 
right here; every day? It?s my absolute paradise!? 

Ken Mogul did that weird peekaboo thing with his hands again。 He glanced at one of his 
Swedish…looking blond crew girls; ripped off the pair of mirrored aviator shades she had propped 
on her head; and tossed them to Serena。 

?Do it again with these on;? he ordered。 

Serena did as she was told; wondering if it was a good thing or a bad thing that Ken Mogul 
closed his eyes when she started to talk。 

?Next!? he shouted; dismissing her。 

Nate was standing by the elevators; a damp tissue wadded in his fist。 ?My mom brought me here 
to buy my first real suit;? he told Serena; his lower lip trembling。 ?Afterwards we got ice cream 
and she took me to the zoo in the park。 It smelled like peanuts。? 

?Aw。? Serena hugged him and kissed his ear。 ?Listen; I think I know of a way to cheer you up。? 
After the Viagra incident in Bergdorf?s on Tuesday; Serena thought Nate was basically up for it 
any time; anywhere。 She nodded toward the ladies? lounge。 


Nate hesitated。 He?d smoked a tiny joint when he woke up; and he?d left the Viagra at home。 
Besides; all this crying was so exhausting。 He really wasn?t in the mood。 

The ladies? lounge door swung open; and Blair and that sandy…haired hunk of hers came out; 
holding hands。 ?How do you do?? Blair gestured with her empty cigarette holder in an 
exaggerated imitation of the part both girls had just played。 She giggled。 ?You guys want to go get 
a drink?? 

?Definitely;? Serena gushed eagerly。 

Of course; it was only ten…thirty on a Saturday morning; but the future Audreys of the world 
clearly know how to enjoy themselves。 

Lord Marcus pressed the button for the elevator and the doors rolled open。 

?Wait!? one of Ken Mogul?s black…tunic…wearing; blond crew girls yelled。 Blair?s heart skipped 
a beat。 Surely they were going to offer her the part right now and send the other girls packing。 But 
the girl was looking at Serena。 

?Oops!? Serena blushed; swiping the mirrored aviators off her head and handing them 
back。 ?I?m such a klepto!? 

The girl took the sunglasses and then stood on tiptoe to whisper in Serena?s ear。 Blair watched; 
riveted; as Serena nodded; listening silently。 Then the crew girl left to supply her sunglasses to 
another Holly hopeful。 

Blair bit her lip; nearly drawing blood。 The need to know what the crewperson had whispered to 
Serena was killing her; but she forced herself not to ask; and Serena decided not to tell her。 The 
idea that they were sort of talking to each other again was so tenuous and so new; neither of them 
wanted to ruin it。 

Plus; Lord Marcus had only seen Blair on her best behavior。 She couldn?t pull anExorcist and 
freak out in front of him now or he?d pack his bags and head back to the U。K。 as quick as you can 
say; ?Bloody hell。? 

Serena reached for Nate?s hand and gave it an excited squeeze; barely able to keep the secret to 
herself。 ?Let?s go get silly。? 

?Hear; hear!? Lord Marcus agreed。 

Blair didn?t even flinch at the sight of Serena and Nate holding hands。 She?d always wanted to 
be a foursome; she?d just always thought it would be her and Nate and Serena and someone else。 
She looked up into Lord Marcus?s handsome golf…course…green eyes and he swooped down and 
kissed her tenderly on the tip of her nose。 


Nate had never been that into public displays of affection。 And anyway; what had ever been so 
special about Nate? 

Boys will be boys and girls will be girls 

?I heard about you。 You?re the kid who?s to take
