Doesn’t she mean dads?
Serena carefully set up the twins at the toddler…size table in the corner; remembering herself and Blair as children sitting at that very table; doing that very thing。 Blair was watching them too; cupping her coffee mug between her hands。
“I was just thinking…” Serena began。 She wanted to apologize to Blair; to say she didn’t even remember why they’d gotten so mad at each other the previous winter; that she just wanted to go back to being friends again。 But she couldn’t find the words。
She didn’t need to。 “I know;” Blair said。 “Me too。”
It was still snowing heavily outside; but inside; it seemed the ice had finally thawed。
dinner for eight
“I thought Giles and I should show off our Proven?al cooking skills;” Harold announced as he set a heavy red Le Creuset casserole on the long; rough…hewn table in the fortable sunken dining room。 It had been snowing heavily all day with no signs of stopping; and Harold had insisted that Dan; Jenny; Serena; and Nate call their parents and stay at the Newport house until the storm let up。
Blair hadn’t minded—in fact; it had actually been kind of fun。 They’d all watched Gone With the Wind; played Boggle and Monopoly; and drunk way too much of Harold’s special mulled wine。 Dan kept excusing himself and Serena; either to make out or read in the library。 Nate and Chuck had kept them entertained with crazy stories about Deep Springs; while Jenny quietly looked on and giggled。 Now; even though it was only eight o’clock; everyone was exhausted and drunk。
“Lamb daube with red wine and olives;” Harold explained from the head of the table。 “I bet this is a far cry from dorm food。”
“Blair survives on jelly babies。” Chuck named the weird British candy that had been the only thing Blair liked about England before she and Chuck started dating。
“Shut up;” she said good…naturedly。 She’d spent the whole first month surviving on whatever she could find at the newsagent’s near her dorm before it closed at 6 p。m。—potato chips and candy mostly—but the whole table didn’t need to know about it。
“Well; enjoy。 I’m telling you; kids; it’s great for us that you’re here。” Harold held up his glass of champagne as he slid into the chair at the head of the table。 “To youth;” he announced solemnly。
“And wisdom!” Chuck cried; clinking his own glass with Harold’s。
“I’ve always liked you。” Harold winked showily at Blair。
Nate stiffened as he cut into his lamb。 Chuck had e…mailed him this year to tell him that he and Blair were dating; but it was one thing to know they were together and another to see it。 He stared down at his plate。 The olives looked like little beady eyes; challenging him。 Just then; he felt something touch his foot。 Jenny was smiling at him mischievously。 Footsies? Really? That was kind of… hot。 Nate smiled back at her。
“I saw you girls making peanut…butter…and…jelly pies this morning;” Harold said; waving his flute at Blair and Serena。 “I wish you’d stuck to doing that; instead of raiding our liquor cabinet when you were teenagers。” He shook his head in bemusement。
“Daddy; we never did that;” Blair lied; taking a large swig of champagne。
“Ha!” Harold laughed。 “I wasn’t as out of touch as you may have thought。”
Yes; he was。
“Well; you girls had to learn how to socialize somehow。 And it all turned out for the best。 You hosted your first benefit when you were only sixteen;” Harold recalled with pride。
“Oh my God; the Kiss on the Lips party;” Blair remembered。 They’d organized a party to benefit the Central Park falcons or pigeons or sparrows or whatever those endangered birds were。 After too much champagne; she’d nearly thrown up on one of the foundation representatives。 Nate had rescued her; making an excuse to the representative and steering Blair discreetly toward the bathroom。 She looked at him gratefully now; wondering if he was thinking about the same thing。 Nate smiled back; and then; as if remembering something; tore his eyes away。
“I did the invitations for that party!” Jenny piped up from the corner of the table。 As a young; ambitious freshman; she’d wanted to be invited to the party so badly that she’d offered to use her calligraphy skills to address the invites。
Dan stared down at his plate。 He had nothing to contribute to this trip down memory lane; except that he had rescued Jenny from the bathroom; where she’d been cornered by a date…raping Chuck at the same party。 But that wasn’t exactly appropriate for the dinner table。
You think?
He couldn’t believe it had snowed all day and they were stuck in Newport for another night。 All he wanted was to be back in his apartment with Serena; a cup of coffee; and a good book。
“Oh my God; Blair; remember when we were Jenny’s peer counselors?” Serena laughed。 The guidance department had chosen her and Blair to act as role models for some of the younger Constance girls。 They’d been assigned a group of freshman with whom they met once a week to discuss topics like peer pressure; teen sex; and drinking。 Instead; they’d spent most of their time talking about boys and sample sales。 Serena shot a sidelong glance at Jenny。 She seemed to have turned out okay anyway。
“We were great role models。 Unlike Nate’s role model; L’Wren。” Blair smirked; naming a supremely slutty University of Virginia freshman who’d almost deflowered Nate when he was fifteen。
“Oh my God; L’Wren! I’d almost forgotten about her!” Serena cried; clapping her hands。
Nate shook his head ruefully。 In truth; he still had a soft spot in his heart for L’Wren; the girl who’d taught him how to smoke a bong。
Ah; memories。
Dan shifted unfortably in his seat; wishing he had more to offer to the conversation。 What would he say? Hey Chuck; remember when you locked me out of a party? Nate; remember when you invited yourself on my and Serena’s college visiting tour senior year? “Hey beautiful;” he whispered to Serena; trying to pull her out of this lame remember…when conversation about people he’d never met and parties he’d never been invited to。
“Hey;” Serena said distractedly; putting her
