entourage and kissed Aaron
lightly on the cheek。 Her yellow dress was stenciled with iridescent blue birds and her lip gloss
smelled like watermelon。 ？We？re just shooting a perfume ad。 You can watch if you want to。？
Aaron kept his hands in his pockets。 There were a million things she could have said to make
him feel guilty for hiding out in Scarsdale and never calling her； but Serena was too cool for that。
She was truly magnificent； which was part of the reason he had to let her go。 It was too much

She took it and held it between her coral…glossed lips as he lit it for her。 ？Oh； and thanks for the

cigarette in Serena？s hand and the goosebumps dotting her arms and legs； but you？d be surprised
how easy that is to do。
