Yes；　but　look　who　has　the　boy；　honey。

Blair　willed　herself　to　smile　and　maintain　her　posure　as　Serena　slithered　her　lithe　arms

around　Nate？s　neck。　Wasn？t　it　bad　enough　that　Serena　had　planted　that　stupid；　three…page　love

letter　in　Nate？s　car　when　she　couldobviously　see　that　Blair　and　Nate　were　totally　back　together？

Did　she　have　to　show　up　in　Blair？s　living　room　the　second　they　got　back　to　the　city；　like　some

scary　stalker？

Or　like　your　best　friend？

Blair　seethed；　watching　as　Serena　leaned　in　even　closer　to　Nate？s　body；　and　Nate　gripped　her

tightly；　closing　his　eyes　like　he　was　reallyenjoying　it。　Serena　nestled　in　Nate？s　arms　like　she

belonged　there；　like　she　hadalways　belonged　there。　Any　more　of　this　and　Blair　was　going　to

scream。　She　shifted　from　one　foot　to　another；　angrily　twirling　her　ruby　ring　around　her　finger　and

silently　shouting　at　them　to　let　go　of　one　another　and　notice　her　standing　there。

？Blair；　honey！？　Blair　whipped　around　as　her　mother　practically　pounced　on　her；　while　a　skinny；

bored…looking　bleached…blond　woman　stood　behind　her　scribbling　in　a　fuchsia　leather　organizer。

Eleanor　wrapped　her　arms　around　Blair；　enveloping　her　in　a　cloud　of　Chanel　No。　5。　Blair　squeezed

her　eyes　shut　tight　and　dug　her　short　buffed　fingernails　into　the　palms　of　her　hands；　tolerating　the

embrace。　？Wele　home！？　Eleanor　finally　stepped　back　and　gestured　to　the　blond　woman；　who

had　now　taken　a　seat　on　the　couch。　？Ooh；　and　I？m　so　glad　you　get　to　meet　my　new　friend；　Davita

Fjorde！？　Blair　offered　the　orange…lipstick…wearing　blond　woman　a　limp　hand；　all　the　while　looking

over　her　shoulder　as　Nate　laughed　at　one　of　Serena？s　annoying　little　jokes。

？Charmed；　Blair；？　Davita　drawled；　tapping　one　pewter…colored　Jimmy　Choo　slingback　against

the　caramel…and…burgundy　Bokhara　rug。　She　didn？t　seem　to　have　any　patience　for　family

reunions。Well；　good。　Neither　did　Blair。

？Now；　Blair；？　Eleanor　began；　speaking　rapidly？the　way　she　always　did　when　she　was　worried

about　something；　sweat　breaking　out　in　small；　jewel…like　beads　on　her　brow。　She　practically

pushed　Blair　onto　the　sofa。　？Davita　is　here　because　。　。　。　because　。　。　。　well；　I？m　glad　you？re　sitting

down；　because　I　have　big；　big；　big　news！？　Blairreally　didn？t　like　the　sound　of　that？what　could　be

bigger　than　Serena　manhandling　Nate　right　in　front　of　her？　They　had　finally　stopped　hugging；　but

were　now　paired　off　in　the　corner　of　the　room；　whispering。　Serena？s　delicate；　bell…like　laugh

grated　in　Blair？s　ears　like　the　whine　of　a　chainsaw。

？I？ve　invited　Davita　and　Serena　to　help　plan　a　going…away　party　for　you　and　Aaron　at　the　Met　the

night　before　you　leave　for　college！？　Eleanor　grabbed　Blair？s　arm；　squeezing　tight　with　excitement；

her　eyes　glassy　and　bright。　？That？s　just　nine　days　away！？　Davita　grabbed　a　clipboard　from　off　the
