to　him；　to　get　to　know　him　as　a　person；　not　a　costar。　She？d　heard　a　rumor　that　he　was　going　to　be

leaving　town　after　the　wrap　party；　which　was　tomorrow；　so　that　didn？t　leave　them　with　much　time

together？and　she　hoped　that　something　might　finally　happen　between　them；　off…camera。

Apparently　that　was　theonly　rumor　she？d　heard　about　him。

？What　are　you　drinking？？　Thaddeus　shouted　when　their　waitress　approached　to　take　their　order。

They　were　seated　in　what　was　supposedly　the　VIP　section；　but　there　was　nothing　to　distinguish　it

from　the　rest　of　the　narrow　terrace；　except　for　the　fact　that　they　had　the　best；　most　unobstructed

view　of　the　Hudson。　At　least　they？d　chosen　the　right　night　to　drink　by　the　river。　Fireworks　were

going　off　all　over；　in　celebration　of　something　or　other。　Gay　Pride；　maybe？　Or　maybe　there　was　a

marathon　today。　Serena　could　never　keep　things　like　that　straight。

？Caipirinha；？　she　practically　shouted　into　his　ear。

Thaddeus　repeated　this　to　the　starstruck　waitress；　who　hurried　off　to　fetch　the　drinks　that　would

probably　be　on　the　house。　Thaddeus　never　had　to　pay　for　anything；　but　then　again；　Serena　had

never　really　had　to　pay　for　anything　either：　The　notorious　fashion　designer　Les　Best　had　given　her

a　ton　of　clothes　when　she　modeled　for　his　perfume　ad；　and　guys　were　always　buying　her　drinks　or

picking　up　dinner　no　matter　where　she　went。

Guess　stardom　was　in　her　stars。

Thaddeus　idly　drummed　on　the　surface　of　the　table　in　time　with　the　Scissor　Sisters　tune　that　was

blaring　out　of　the　cleverly　hidden　speakers。　He　stared　out　over　the　Hudson　and　smiled。

？It？s　a　great　night；？　he　observed。

？It　is；？　Serena　agreed。　She　was　squeezed　in　between　Thaddeus　and　the　protective　railing　that

snaked　around　the　terrace。　？I？m　so　glad　we　get　to　be　out　and　not　have　to　worry　about　going　over

our　lines　or　what　Ken？s　going　to　yell　at　us　tomorrow。？

？Fucking　tell　me　about　it。？　Thaddeus　lit　a　cigarette；　took　a　quick　drag；　and　then　passed　it　off　to

Serena。

Serena　inhaled　the　slightly　damp　butt？she？d　already　made　out　with　Thaddeus　on　camera；　so　a　bit

of　his　spit　didn？t　bother　her？as　the　waitress　set　down　their　drinks。　Thaddeus　slid　her　cocktail

across　the　table　to　her。　？A　toast；？　he　suggested；　lifting　his　pink　cosmo　into　the　air。

Pink　cosmo？

？Definitely。？　Serena　clinked　her　glass　to　his。　？To　an　incredible　movie。？

？To　an　incredible　costar；？　Thaddeus　corrected；　cocking　his　eyebrow。　？And　an　incredible　debut。？

He　draped　his　arm　over　the　back　of　the　bench　and　pulled　Serena　a　little　closer；　resting　his　left

hand　on　her　left　shoulder。　？The　fireworks　are　going　to　really　get　going　soon；　huh？？　He　nodded

toward　the　river；　where　a　small　one　had　already　exploded。

The　DJ　started　playing　a　mellower　tune；　something　by　the　Raves。

？I　know　this　song！？　Serena　cried。　It　sounded　familiar　but　she　couldn？t　place　it。
