armoire　with　crazily　printed　underwear　spilling　out　of　it。　The　little　silver　box　on　her　night　table

that　he　knew　was　full　of　her　baby　teeth。

？Did　Blair　call　you？？　Nate　asked；　resting　his　head　on　the　bed　behind　him。　He　looked　up　at　the

white　eyelet　canopy　overhead　and　recognized　the　little　brown　burn　mark　he？d　made　in　ninth

grade。

She　shook　her　head。　？Why？？

He　squirmed　unfortably　on　the　carpet。　？I　don？t　know。？　Serena　just　smiled　and　turned　back　to

the　album。　An　eight…by…ten　photo　of　her　in　the　fifth　grade；　dressed　up　as　a　fairy；　peered　up　at

them。　？My　hair　is　green。？　She　blushed　and　tried　to　turn　the　page。

？No。？　Nate　sat　forward　and　reached　for　the　album；　flipping　the　page　back　so　he　could　study　the

picture。　Little　Serena　trapped　underneath　the　clear　plastic；　wearing　a　pink　satin　gown　and　wings；　a

sparkling　silver　wand　in　her　hand。　？You　look　beautiful。？　Serena　rolled　her　eyes。　？Anyway　。　。　。？　she

said；　turning　the　pages；　？why　did　you　e　over　here　again？？　Nate　shrugged；　Chips？s　words　still

echoing　in　his　brain。　If　he　could　only　figure　out　what　thinking　with　his　balls　actually　meant；

maybe　he　could　figure　some　shit　out。　？I　was　in　the　neighborhood。？　He　looked　down　at　a　picture　of

him　and

Serena。　He　didn？t　remember　taking　this　one。　Their　cheeks　were　pressed　close　together；　flushed

and　smiling；　and　it　was　taken　from　above；　his　arm　holding　the　camera　out　in　front　of　their　faces。

？Is　that？？　he　heard　the　words　tumble　out　of　his　mouth。　？It？s　from　the　day　I　came　down　from

Ridgefield；？　she　said　quietly；　finishing　his　thoughts。　Serena　swallowed　hard；　looking　down　at　the

page。　？The　day　we　。　。　。？　Nate　knew　before　she？d　even　said　the　words。　It　was　a　photograph　from

the　night　they？d　lost　their　virginity　to　each　other；　more　than　two　years　ago。　He　couldn？t　help

thinking　about　her　soft　skin　and　the　fun　they？d　had。　Some　documentary　about　the　Ten

mandments　was　on　TV　that　night；　and　when　they？d　turned　it　on　after　they？d　made　love　for

the　very　first　time；　Serena　had　yelled　out；　？You　parted　my　red　sea！？　He　smiled；　remembering　how

happy　they　were；　how　they？d　stayed　in　each　other？s　arms　until　the　sun　rose。

？I　don？t　even　remember　taking　it；？　Serena　added　with　a　shrug　of　her　shoulders　before　she

reached　out　and　started　to　flip　to　another　page　in　the　album。

？Me　neither；？　Nate　said；　reluctant　to　let　go　of　the　page。　Why　couldn？t　happiness　just　stay　like

that？trapped　under　plastic　and　hermetically　sealed？　Why　did　everything　have　to　get

soplicated　？　He　wished　more　than　anything　that　he　could　just　go　back　in　time　to　that　night　and

start　all　over　again。

Serena　grabbed　the　book　away　from　him；　closed　it；　and　sat　up；　crossing　her　legs　Indian　style。　She

was　wearing　a　pair　of　ridiculously　tiny　white　shorts　under　her　cotton　dress。　It　almost　hurt　Nate？s

eyes　to　look　at　her。

Sounds　like　he　was　thinking　with；　ahem；something　now。　？Nate；？　she　began；　taking　a　deep
