aside　to　let　her　pass。　Serena　kicked　off　her　baby　blue　Uggs　and　scuffed　her　bare；　Urban　Decay

Piggy　Bank　pink？toenailed　feet　down　the　long　hall　to　the　stately　town　house？s　enormous；　barely

used　all…white　Italian　Modern　kitchen。　Nate？s　father　was　a　former　sea　captain…turned…banker；　and

his　mother　was　a　French　society　hostess。　They　were　basically　never　home；　and　when　theywere

home；　they　were　at　the　opera。

？Are　you　hungry？？　Nate　asked；　following　her。　？I？m　so　sick　of　takeout。　My　parents　have　been　in

Venezuela　or　Santa　Domingo　or　wherever　they　go　in　February　for　like　two　weeks；　and　I？ve　been

eating　burritos；　pizza；　or　sushi　every　freaking　night。　I　asked　Regina　to　buy　ham；　Swiss；　Pepperidge

Farm　white　bread；　Grammy　Smith　apples；　and　peanut　butter。　All　I　want　is　the　food　I　ate　in

kindergarten。？　He　tugged　anxiously　on　his　wavy；　golden　brown　hair。　？Maybe　I？m　going　through

some　sort　of　midlife　crisis　or　something。？

Like　his　life　is　so　stressful？

？It？s　GrannySmith；　silly；？　Serena　informed　him　fondly。　She　opened　a　glossy　white　cupboard　and

found　an　unopened　box　of　cinnamon…and…brown…sugar　Pop…Tarts。　Ripping　open　the　box；　she

removed　one　of　the　packets　from　inside；　tore　it　open　with　her　neat；　white　teeth；　and　pulled　out　a

thickly　frosted　pastry。　She　sucked　on　the　Pop…Tart？s　sweet；　crumbly　corner　and　hopped　up　on　the

counter；　kicking　the　cupboards　below　with　her　size…eight…and…a…half　feet。　Pop…Tarts　at　Nate？s。

She？d　been　having　them　there　since　she　was　five　years　old。　And　now　。。。and　now　。。。

Serena　sighed　heavily。　？Mom　and　Dad　want　me　to　go　to　boarding　school　next　year；？　she

announced；　her　enormous；　almost　navy　blue　eyes　growing　huge　and　glassy　as　they　welled　up　with

unexpected　tears。　Go　away　to　boarding　school　and　leave　Nate？　It　hurt　too　much　to　even　think

about。

Nate　flinched　as　if　he？d　been　slapped　in　the　face　by　an　invisible　hand。　He　grabbed　the　other

Pop…Tart　from　out　of　the　packet　and　hopped　up　on　the　counter　next　to　Serena。　？No　way；？　he

responded　decisively。　She　couldn？t　leave。　He　wouldn？t　allow　it。

？They　want　to　travel　more；？　Serena　explained。　The　pink；　perfect　curve　of　her　lower　lip　trembled

dangerously。　？If　I？m　home；　they　feel　like　they　need　to　be　home　more。　Like　I　want　them　around？

Anyway；　they？ve　arranged　for　me　to　meet　some　of　the　deans　of　admissions　and　stuff。　It？s　like　I

have　no　choice。？

Nate　scooted　over　a　few　inches　and　put　his　arm　around　her。　？The　city　is　going　to　suck　if　you？re

not　here；？　he　told　her　earnestly。　？You　can？t　go。？

Serena　took　a　deep　shuddering　breath　and　rested　her　pale　blond　head　on　his　shoulder。　？I　love　you；？

she　murmured；　closing　her　delicate　eyelids。　Their　bodies　were　so　close　the　entire　Nate…side　of　her

hummed。　If　she　turned　her　head　and　tilted　her　chin　just　so；　she　could　have　easily　kissed　his　warm；
