Her blue eyes glowed in the light of a passing car。
No； Dan couldn’t imagine her doing any of the things Chuck had
accused her of。 The only thing he could imagine her doing was
kissing him。 But there was time for that later。
“I just don’t see you that way；” he said。
The corners of Serena’s mouth spread wide and she was smiling
again。
“Good；” she said。 She took a deep breath and let her head fall back
against the seat。
Dan let his head fall back beside hers。 “Good；” he agreed； closing
his eyes。
As they sped past the flashing billboards and bright lights of Times
Square； Serena kept her eyes open。 She had always thought Times
Square was ugly and depressing pared to the quiet； manicured
streets of her neighborhood。 But now the brilliant lights and loud
noises and the steam rising from the grates on the corners gave her
hope。 In the darkness of the taxi； she reached for Dan’s hand at the
same moment he reached for hers。
She couldn’t wait to see what would happen next。

Well； I had a great time at Kiss on the Lips。 I must have lost fifteen

Needless to say； I’m feeling good。
