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。
