Page 19 of Unforgettable


  Blair picked up the DVD case again. Audrey Hepburn looked so fabulous in the pictures on the back, but also sort of prim and proper, like she wore sexy underwear but wouldn ’t let a guy see it unless he was going to marry her. Blair pulled her cardigan back on and buttoned the top button. From now on, her life ’s work would be to emulate Audrey Hepburn in every possible way. Nate could see her underwear, but only once she was sure that one day they ’d be married.

  That makes sense-to her.

  “I watched that movie with my mom,” Nate confessed, causing both girls ’ hearts to drip into sticky puddles on the floor. “It ’s kind of bizarre, actually. I think it ’s supposed to be romantic, but I ’m not sure I even understood it.”

  That was all the girls needed. Blair stuck the DVD into the player while Serena mixed martinis at the wet bar in the adjoining library. This involved pouring Bombay Sapphire into chilled martini glasses and stirring it with a silver letter opener. It was only 11 A.M.-not exactly cocktail hour-but Blair was in crisis, and Nate tended to take off his shirt when he got drunk. Besides, it was Saturday.

  “There,” Serena announced, as if she ’d just put the finishing touches on a very complicated recipe. She handed out the glasses. “To us. Because we ’re worth it.”

  “To us,” Blair and Nate chorused, glasses raised.

  Bottoms up!
