was　still　in　Maine。　Serena　was　up　in　her　country　house　in　Ridgefield；

Connecticut；　so　bored　she’d　painted　each　of　her　fingernails　and

toenails　a　different　color。　Blair　was　at　the　Waldorf　castle　in

Gleneagles；　Scotland；　at　her　aunt’s　wedding。　But　that　hadn’t

stopped　her　two　best　friends　from　having　fun　without　her。　When

Nate　called；　Serena　hopped　right　on　the　New　Haven　line　into　Grand

Central　Station。

Nate　met　Serena　on　the　platform。　She　stepped　off　the　train　wearing

a　light　blue　silk　slip　dress　and　pink　rubber　flip…flops。　Her　yellow　hair

hung　loose；　just　touching　her　bare　shoulders。　She　wasn’t　carrying　a

bag；　not　even　a　wallet　or　keys。　To　Nate；　she　looked　like　an　angel。

How　lucky　he　was。　Life　didn’t　get　any　better　than　the　moment　when

Serena　flip…flopped　down　the　platform；　threw　her　arms　around　his

neck；　and　kissed　him　on　the　lips。　That　wonderful；　surprising　kiss。

First　they　had　martinis　at　the　little　bar　upstairs　by　the　Vanderbilt

Avenue　entrance　to　Grand　Central。　Then　they　got　a　cab　straight　up

Park　Avenue　to　Nate’s　Eighty…second　Street　townhouse。　His　father

was　entertaining　some　foreign　bankers　and　was　going　to　be　out

until　very　late；　so　Serena　and　Nate　had　the　place　to　themselves。

Oddly　enough；　it　was　the　first　time　they’d　ever　been　alone　together

and　noticed。

It　didn’t　take　long。

They　sat　out　in　the　garden；　drinking　beer　and　smoking　cigarettes。

Nate　was　wearing　a　long…sleeved　polo　shirt；　and　the　weather　was

extremely　hot；　so　he　took　it　off。　His　shoulders　were　scattered　with

tiny　freckles；　and　his　back　was　muscled　and　tan　from　hours　at　the

docks；　building　a　sailboat　with　his　father　up　in　Maine。

Serena　was　hot　too；　so　she　climbed　into　the　fountain。　She　sat　on　the

marble　Venus　de　Milo　statue’s　knee；　splashing　herself　with　water

until　her　dress　was　soaked　through。

It　wasn’t　difficult　to　see　who　the　real　goddess　was。　Venus　looked　like

a　lumpy　pile　of　marble　pared　to　Serena。　Nate　staggered　over　to

the　fountain　and　got　in　with　her；　and　soon　they　were　tearing　the

rest　of　each　other’s　clothes　off。　It　was　August　after　all。　The　only　way

to　tolerate　the　city　in　August　is　to　get　naked。

Nate　was　worried　about　the　security　cameras　trained　on　his

parents’　house　at　all　times；　front　and　back；　so　he　led　Serena　inside

and　up　to　his　parents’　bedroom。
