long time; she couldn?t stop thinking about the past。
Everyone always assumed that she was as happy…go…lucky as she acted; but the truth was; shewas
acting。 At least; some of the time。 After all; even she looked liked crap when she?d been crying。
And during those early days at Hanover she?d cried alot。
She hopped off the counter and padded back into the library; sliding open the many small
drawers of her father?s heavy wooden desk until she unearthed some stationery。 Then; instead of
taking a seat in his giant leather office chair; she tucked herself under the desk。 It had been one of
her favorite hiding places when she was little。 Dark and cozy and safe; with the dank scent of
antique wood。 She tucked the swivel chair in so she was pletely hidden and started to write。
By the time she?d said what she needed to; she?d filled three pages of the ivory…colored Crane?s
writing paper。
Climbing out of her hiding place; Serena stuffed the pages into an envelope and sealed it with
two quick licks。 She scrawled a name across the front of it; and then; moving quickly so she
wouldn?t lose momentum or second…guess herself; she hurried out of the house and into the
driveway。 Dozens of cars were parked half on and half off the lawn; but it was easy to spot the
vintage hunter green Aston Martin; top still down; dewy and shining in the gray…gold morning
light。 She strode toward it purposefully; popped open the glove partment; and left the
envelope inside; faceup。
Somebody?s in for a big surprise。

I was talking to Mom about it and she said that when you were little you were always hiding in
her closet; trying on her sequined dresses from the seventies。 Isn?t that funny? Congratulations on
finally ing out of the closet!
I love you!

my baby takes the morning train
?I?m home;? Vanessa whispered as she quietly shuffled into Dan?s sprawling Upper West Side
apartment。 She care…fully deposited her backpack on an armchair laden with winter coats even
though it was July。 It was only eight o?clock in the morning and it didn?t seem fair to wake the
whole household just to announce her definitely untriumphant return。 How many times would she
slink back here? It was basically the only place she had in the world to call home; and already
she?d had to retreat there a distressing number of times in the past few weeks: first; after being
unceremoniously evicted from the Williamsburg apartment; then after being fired from her first
