？This　is　your　birthday　party；　right？？　asked　one　of　the　other　guys；　who　Serena　recognized　as　one

of　her　brother？s　Brown　freshman　year　suitemates；　although　she　couldn？t　remember　his　name。

？It？s　my　birthday　tomorrow。？　Serena　glanced　at　her　slim　Chanel　watch。　？In　approximately

ninety…seven　minutes；　actually。　And　it？s　also　Bastille　Day。？

？Vive　la　France。？Henry　raised　the　bottle　of　Corzo　tequila　in　his　hands　and　clinked　it　against　her

glass。

？Vive　la　France。？Serena　tipped　her　glass　back；　draining　her　whiskey　in　one　gulp。　？I　missed　you；？

she　added；　even　though　it　was　sort　of　untrue。　As　soon　as　she？d　returned　to　the　city；　she？d　forgotten

all　about　Henry。

？I　missed　you　too。？　Henry　popped　the　bottle　open　and　refilled　her　glass　and　then　his；　then　passed

the　bottle　to　his　left。　？Let？s　have　our　own　little　prebirthday　celebration。？

Serena　looked　up　at　the　glittering　stars　overhead。　Everything　around　her　was　bringing　her　back　to

a　year　ago；　and　then　two　years　ago；　when　everything　had　been　so　different　but　also　exactly　the

same。　She　turned　her　head；　meeting　Henry？s　gaze。　She　wanted　to　let　him　distract　her　all　over　again。

She　needed　him　to　distract　her　so　she　could　try　and　forget　about　what　was　probably　happening

right　now　on　her　parents？　bed。

？And　what　happens　at　midnight？？　she　asked；　sniffing　the　tequila　tentatively。

？At　midnight？？　Henry　clinked　his　glass　against　hers　and　tossed　the　shot　back　down　his

throat。　？That？s　when　you　get　your　present。？

If　she　can　stay　awake　that　long。

love　is　in　the　air

？You　boys　okay　in　there？？　Rufus　Humphrey　poked　his　crazy…haired　head　into　the　living　room。　？I

can？t　get　you　any…thing　else？　I？ve　got　some　almond…and…lentil　pesto　in　the　blender。？

？No；　Mr。　Humphrey；　you？ve　been　too　kind　already！？　Greg　smiled　graciously　and　turned　to

Dan。　？Your　dad？s　a　riot。？

Dan　took　a　deep　breath　and　used　the　remote　control　to　crank　the　volume　on　the　Humphreys？

battered　old　television；　which　was　tuned　to　a　documentary　on　the　Beats。　Though　he　had　no

memory　of　it；　he？d　apparently　extended　a　drunken　invitation　to　Greg　to　watch　it　together。

Who　knows　what　else　he　offered　up　in　his　drunken　state？

？Um。？　Dan　thoughtlessly　shoveled　popcorn　into　his　mouth；　eager　to　have　something　to　do　with

his　hands。　？Thanks　for　bringing　this。？

？No　problem。？　Greg　reached　into　the　plastic　bowl；　his　fingers　brushing　against　Dan？s　as　he

grabbed　a　handful。　？You　mentioned　that　your　dad　isn？t　much　of　a　cook；　so　I　thought　I　should

e　prepared。？

I　did？？Yeah；　well；　it？s　a　good　thing。？　Dan　chuckled　nervously；　noticing　now　that　his　dad　had

displayed　the　freaky　penis　vase　on　a　book…laden　shelf。　The　paint　on　the　crumbly　living　room　was

looking　particularly　water…stained。

？In　vino　veritas。？Greg　giggled。
