picture　herself　wrapped　in　a　downy　white　spa　robe；　her　face　lathered　in　green　clay　masque；　her

feet　and　hands　stuck　with　acupuncture　needles；　sipping　detoxifying　herbal　tea　as　she　lounged　on　a

daybed　chatting　to　an　attentive　counselor　in　a　white　linen　tunic。

？If　you　could　be　any　sort　of　animal；　what　would　you　be？？　the　counselor　would　ask　her。　Nothing

too　challenging。

Rehab。　Why　hadn？t　she　thought　of　it　before？　Sure；　there　might　be　a　little　therapy　involved；　but

she？d　never　had　a　problem　talking　about　herself。　And　best　of　all；Nate　would　be　there　？the　two　of

them　alone　together；　away　from　the　city　and　all　its　messy　baggage。　She？d　always　dreamed　of

spending　a　weekend　with　Nate　at　a　romantic　bed…and…breakfast　on　the　Cape　or　in　the　Hamptons。　A

rehab　clinic　in　Greenwich；　Connecticut；　would　be　almost　as　good。　Sure；　she？d　thought　she？d

wanted　to　erase　Nate？s　arrogant；　cheating　presence　from　her　life　entirely；　but　Nate　sounded　like　he

was　turning　over　a　new　leaf；　which　was　exactly　what　she　was　trying　to　do！

somebody？？　Blair　asked。　She　glanced　at　herself　in　the　mirror　on　the　back　of　her　closet　door。　With

her　hacked…off　hair　and　pasty　face；　she　looked　enough　like　a　heroin　addict　that　they　were　sure　to

admit　her。

？I　think　you　can　sign　yourself　in；　but　who？d　be　crazy　enough　to　do　that？？　Nate　asked。

Blair　smiled。She　would。　？So　do　you　want　to　get　together　tomorrow　night　or　something？？　she

tomorrow。　？I　take　the　train；　so　I　don？t　get　home　until　pretty　late。？

？All　right。　But　let？s　get　together　sometime　soon；　okay？？　Blair　said。　？You　know　you　love　me；？

Hopping　off　her　bed　with　newfound　energy；　she　removed　the　Pucci　scarf　from　her　head　and

hall。　？e　quick。　I　need　your　help　with　something！？

What　better　way　for　the　leading　lady　to　make　a　eback　than　to　emerge　from　rehab；　refreshed

？So　。　。　。　；？　Vanessa　said；　bouncing　her　knee　against　Dan？s　thigh　as　they　lay　naked　on　their　backs；

contemplating　his　cracked　bedroom　ceiling　in　a　postcoital　daze。　？What　did　you　think？？
