your first feature film is going to be released very soon;and you?re starting Yale in a week and a
half!? She squeezed Serena?s knee so hard it hurt。
Serena knew that she had a lot to be excited about; but she just couldn?t seem to match Eleanor?s
enthusiasm。 Maybe it was because the thought of heading to Yale in ten days with Nate and Blair
and watching them be blissfully in love for four torturous years loomed over everything。 ?Has
Blair 。 。 。 mentioned me at all when you?ve talked to her??
Eleanor grabbed a white silk handkerchief from the antique coffee table and began to frantically
pat her brow with the soft cloth; then sprayed herself thoroughly with an Evian facial mister and
