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　
coffee　table。　？Let？s　see　。　。　。　so　far　we？ve　got　fabulous　gift　bags　full　of　Kiehls　and　Fr？d？ric　Fekkai

Casablanca　lilies；　but　that　may　be　too　bridey　for　your　taste　。　。　。　truffles　from　La　Maison　du　
Chocolat；　a　tower　of　cupcakes　from　Magnolia　Bakery。　And　I　thought　it　might　be　really　cute　to　run　
a　red　carpet　outside　and　down　those　fabulous　Met　steps。　。　。　。　Blair？　What　doyou　think？？　Davita　
frowned；　her　leathery　skin　crinkling。　Her　face　looked　like　it　was　about　to　peel　off　in　layers；　like　a　
withered　onion。　

Blair　couldn？t　concentrate。　She　continued　to　stare　at　Serena　and　Nate；　willing　Nate　to　turn　
around　and　notice　her。Hello！　Remember　me？　Your　girlfriend？　The　girl　you　just　spent　a　month　
alone　with　on　a　boat　in　the　middle　of　the　Atlantic？　The　girl　you　said　you　loved　about　eighty

mother。？What？？　She　suddenly　felt　like　she　was　choking。　？What　are　youtalking　about？？　Eleanor？s　
smile　wavered　for　a　moment　and　she　reached　up；　patting　her　sleek；　golden　bob　to　pose　herself；　
her　six…carat　Harry　Winston　diamond　wedding　ring　sending　glittering　reflections　across　the　room。　

？Cyrus？s　real　estate　pany　just　landed　a　huge　contract　in　L。A。？they？re　building　a　luxury　resort

blueprints　from　the　coffee　table　and　shoved　them　on　Blair？s　lap。　？Look　at　these　plans　for　the　new

stiffened　at　Blair？s　little　outburst　and　stalked　out　of　the　room；　clutching　her　jewel…encrusted　cell　
phone。　She　was　paid　to　plan　parties；　not　navigate　family　drama。　Serena　and　Nate　were　still　
chattering　away　obliviously　in　the　corner；　staring　deep　into　each　other？s　eyes。　The　greatest　
catastrophe　of　Blair？s　life；　and　they　didn？t　evennotice　？　

？Yes；　dear；　I？m　well　aware　we　raised　you　in　Manhattan；　but　we　were　innocent　new　parents；？　
Eleanor　answered；　distractedly　surveying　the　plans　for　the　new　house。　？We　just　didn？tknow　any

handsome　father　sat　smiling　happily；　a　pink　bandana　tied　around　his　neck；　two　decidedly　
Asian…looking　babies　cradled　in　his　overly　worked…out　arms。　Blair　stared　down　at　the　photograph　
unprehendingly；　feeling　nauseous。Babies？　Her　father　had　adoptedbabies　from　Cambodia？
