？Let？s　go　to　the　Plaza；　then；？　Blair　suggested；　doing　her　best　to　shrug　off　the　nagging　sensation

that　things　were　just　not　right　between　them。　She　knew　Nate　was　lying；　butwhy？

？Blair；　I　can？t。？　He　was　starting　to　get　annoyed　with　her？she　could　hear　it　in　his　voice。　？Itold　you；

I　have　some　stuff　to　do　right　now。　Maybe　later？？　？Fine。　Whatever。？　She　closed　her　cell　phone　with

a　hard　snap　and　threw　it　across　the　room；　where　it　landed　with　a　thump　on　a　pile　of

needing…to…be…hand…washed　Wolford　stockings。Why　was　Nate　being　so　secretive　all　of　a　sudden？

Blair　heard　the　low　murmuring　of　voices　in　the　hallway　and　her　bedroom　door　flew　open　to

reveal　her　mother；　dressed　in　a　gray　silk　Oscar　de　la　Renta　blouse；　black　Cynthia　Rowley　pencil

skirt；　and　gray　suede　Manolo　sling…backs。　A　woman　in　her　early　forties　stood　behind　her　carrying　a

red　crocodile　Herm？s　Birkin　bag；　her　whip…thin　body　encased　in　a　red…and…brown　tropical…print

Diane　von　Furstenberg　wrap　dress。　Her　definitely…not…natural…red　hair　was　pulled　back　in　a　neat

chignon；　and　black；　rectangular…framed　Alain　Mikli　glasses　perched　on　her　nose。　She　sniffed　the

air　delicately。

？Blair；　this　is　Diana　Riggs　from　Sotheby？s。　She？s　the　real　estate　agent　in　charge　of　selling　our

apartment！？　The　real　estate　broker？s　eyes　swept　the　room。　？Another　great　bedroom；　Eleanor。？　She

attempted　to　wrinkle　her　Botoxed　forehead　and　counted　on　her　fingers；　？One；　two　。　。　。？　she

muttered　distractedly；　？four　beds　total？？　She　grabbed　Eleanor？s　arm　for　emphasis　as　she　spoke。　？I

know　theperfect　family　for　this　apartment？they　have　the　most　gorgeous　triplets！？

Blair　stared　at　her　mother　in　horror　as　she　cooed　appreciatively　at　Diana。Triplets？　She　was　being

forced　out　of　the　only　home　she？d　ever　known　so　a　bunch　of　test…tube　infertility　treatment　triplet

Where　has　shebeen　？　I　haven？t　see　her　since；　well　。　。　。　it　must　have　been　seventeen　years　ago！？

Blair　jumped　off　her　bed　and　pushed　past　her　mother　and　the　broker　standing　in　the　doorway。　Who

cared　if　Nate　was　busy？　Fuck　busy。　Wasn？t　he　supposed　to　be　there　for　her　in　her　time　of　need？

She　was　his　girlfriend；　and　he　was　going　to　pay　attention　to　her？whether　he　liked　it　or　not。

She　fumed　all　the　way　down　in　the　elevator　and　into　the　bright　Saturday　afternoon；　replaying　the

scene　over　and　over　in　her　mind　as　she　marched　determinedly　toward　Nate？s　house。　Triplets。

Living　inher　house？some　annoyingly　perfect　family　taking　over　her　space？　She　stomped　along　in

her　new　D&G　coral　ballet　flats　as　cabs　rushed　by　in　the　street。　As　she　turned　away　from　the　park；

she　remembered　how　when　she　and　Nate　first　got　together；　they？d　meet　in　Sheep　Meadow　after

school　and　make　out　for　hours；　lying　in　the　grass。　Maybe　she？d　yank　him　away　from　whatever　the

hell　he　was　doing　and　they　could　go　over　to　Sheep　Meadow　and　repeat　history。

Then；　just　as　Blair　began　crossing　the　street　to　Nate？s　town　house；　avery　familiar…looking　blond
