Yes；　Iaminterested；　Serena　thought。　She　and　Aaron　could　hang　out　any　time。　They　had　the　rest　of

their　lives　to　hang　out　together！　Getting　asked　to　be　in　Les　Best？s　show　during　New　York　Fashion

Week　was　a　once…in…a…lifetime　opportunity。　It　wasn？t　like　she　wanted　to　make　a　career　of

modeling　or　anything；　but　this　was　her　chance　to　show　Les　Best　how　much　she　truly　appreciated

his　clothes。　Plus；　it　would　befun　。　Aaron　would　understand　that。　In　fact；　he　was　such　a　wonderful

boyfriend；　he？d　probablyencourage　her　to　do　it。

？I？d　love　to；？　Serena　answered　finally。　She　pursed　her　not…too…full；　not…too…thin　lips　and　then

grinned　at　her　own　ballsiness。　？But　only　if　I　can　have　your　jacket。　I　was　looking　for　that　exact　one

for　my　boyfriend　and　a　little　bird　told　me　you　took　the　last　one。？

？Oh　my　God；　totally。？　The　blond　guy　whipped　off　the　bright　green　jacket　and　folded　it　expertly。

Walking　over　to　the　register；　he　wrapped　the　jacket　in　black　tissue　paper　and　tucked　it　into　a　prized

white　Les　Best　shopping　bag。　？There　you　are；　darling。？　He　offered　the　bag　to　Serena。　？I？ve　only

worn　it　for　like；　an　hour。　And　it？s　on　us；　gratis。　So；　we？ll　see　you　in　Les？s　tent　in　Bryant　Park　on

Friday　at　4P。M。　sharp；　okay？　You？ll　be　on　the　list　and　you　can　invite　four　friends。　Look　for　the

girls　holding　clipboards　and　wearing　headsets。　They？ll　tell　you　exactly　where　to　go。？

Serena　took　the　bag。Score！

？Don？t　I　need　to　be　fitted　for　anything；　or　practice　walking　on　the　runway；　or　whatever？？　she

asked；　pulling　her　white　cashmere　cap　down　over　her　ears。

The　guy　rolled　his　eyes　in　a　camp；　don？t…be…silly　way。　？Honey；　you？re　a　natural。　Trust　me；　you？ll

look　good　no　matterwhat　you　do。？　He　handed　her　his　card。Guy　Reed；　Chief　d？Affairs；　Les　Best

Couture；　it　read。　？If　you　have　any　questions；　just　call。？　He　gave　her　a　quick　kiss　on　the

cheek。　？Hey；　whatis　that　scent　you？re　wearing？？

Serena　smiled。　She　was　used　to　people　asking　about　her　scent；　too。　？I　mix　it　myself；？　she　told

him；　fully　aware　that　her　answer　was　just　as　mysterious　as　the　scent。

Guy　closed　his　eyes　and　inhaled　deeply。　？Mmm。　Dee…lish。？　He　opened　his　eyes　again。　？I？m

going　to　have　to　tell　Les　about　that；　too。　He？s　been　searching　for　a　signature　scent。？　He　reached　up

and　gave　Serena？s　hat　strings　a　playful　tug　with　his　tanned　fingers。　？See　you　Friday；　doll。　Stay

warm。　And　don？t　forget；　the　after…party　is　even　better　than　the　show！？

Serena　gave　him　a　quick　air　kiss　and　then　headed　out　into　the　cold。　She　couldn？t　wait　to　give

Aaron　his　present　and　tell　him　the　news。　He　could　wear　the　jacket　to　the　show　and　then　they　could

drop　by　the　after…party　together　so　she　could　show　him　off。

Outside；　she　no　sooner　lifted　her　cashmere…mittened　hand　than　four　cabs　on　West　Fourteenth

Street　screeched　to　a　halt　and　honked　for　her　attention。

See　how　difficult　it　is　to　be　so　beautiful？
