Nate　shifted　in　his　seat。　？What？s　so　funny？？　he　mumbled；　making　them　laugh　even　harder。

Then　Blair　turned；　catching　Nate　staring　right　at　her。　But　before　he　could　look　away；　embarrassed；

she　let　one　eye…lid　fall　in　the　sexiest；　most　unexpected　wink　Nate　had　ever　seen。　？Can　I　have　a

smoke？？　she　finally　asked；　gently　biting　her　glistening…pink　bottom　lip。

？Sure。？　He　dug　into　his　pockets　for　the　pack。Anything　for　you。

Aw。

Sunrise　must　have　happened　during　the　four　minutes　it　took　them　to　speed　through　the　Midtown

Tunnel　and　into　the　city：　the　sky　was　dark　purple　when　Serena　steered　them　into　the　gaping　mouth

of　the　tunnel；　and　by　the　time　the　little　roadster　emerged　on　the　streets　of　Manhattan；　the　sun　was

up；　the　cars　were　honking；　and　it　was　already　starting　to　get　hot。

Nate　tried　not　to　be　too　obvious　about　watching　Blair；　which　was　hard　because　she　was　so　close

he　could　smell　her；　could　imagine　the　weight　of　her　body　against　his　if　she　happened　to　nod　off　to

sleep；　could　conjure　the　soft　feeling　of　her　lips　and　tongue　against　his　on　the　off　chance　they　just

started　making　out　right　there　in　the　backseat。

Stop　it。　Focus。？Just　drive　downtown。？　Nate　locked　eyes　with　Serena　in　the　rearview　mirror。Did

she　know　what　he　was　thinking？　Did　she　see　something？

Not　that　she　was　uncool　enough　to　say　anything。

？Aye；　aye；　captain。？　Serena　made　a　wide　right　onto　the　FDR　Drive　that　sent　Nate　and　Blair

hurling　to　the　left　as　she　did。

？Don？t　kill　us。？　Blair　tucked　her　wind…whipped　hair　behind　her　ears。

？Don？t　worry。？　Nate　gave　her　right　knee　a　reassuring　squeeze。

Blair　looked　up　at　him；　her　eyes　glazed　and　sleepy　but　the　same　brilliant　blue　they？d　always　been。

She　smiled　and　rested　her　head　on　his　shoulder；　still　looking　up　at　him。

Nate　grinned　back；　feeling　foolish　and　a　little　embarrassed；　like　he　was　fifteen　again。　He　lost

himself　in　the　sensation　of　the　wind　in　his　hair；　the　thrum　of　the　road　beneath　him；　the　smell　of　the

girl　he　loved　leaning　against　him。　It　took　ten　minutes　for　Serena　to　zip　through　the　early　morning

traffic　on　the　highway；　and　five　minutes　of　navigating　the　twisting　downtown　streets　before　they

reached　the　docks　at　Battery　Park；　where　Captain　Archibald　kept　theCharlotte　docked。

？We？re　here；　kids；？　Serena　announced；　playing　mommy　as　she　guided　the　tiny　car　into　a　curbside

parking　spot　and　turned　off　the　ignition。　？Ready　to　sail？？

Nate　opened　the　door　and　clambered　out　of　the　back…seat。　He　breathed　in　the　mingling　scent　of

traffic　and　salt　water　and　warm　asphalt；　it　was　a　mix　of　everything　he　loved？the　city；　especially　in

the　early　morning；　and　the　sea…side；　where　he？d　spent　the　happiest　weeks　of　his　life。　Maybe　he？d

been　cooped　up　in　the　tiny　backseat　for　too　long；　or　maybe　he　was　just　excited　at　the　thought　of

the　illicit　cruise　he　was　about　to　undertake；　but　whatever　the　reason；　Nate　actually　started　to　run；
