d　coffees。　But　in　the　winter；　you　had　to　seek　out　the　things　that　made　New　York　magical：　steak　frites　at　Le　Refuge；　cuddling　into　a　warm　Searle　peacoat；　your　hand　intertwined　with　an　adorable　boy’s。

“Thanks；”　Blair　said　when　the　cab　turned　off　Sixth　Avenue　and　onto　Cornelia　Street。　Cornelia　was　Blair’s　middle　name。　It　felt　like　destiny。

She　stood　in　front　of　the　five…story　brick　building　and　pressed　buzzer　number　two；　stamping　her　feet　against　the　cold。　Chuck　buzzed　her　in　and　she　quickly　ran　up　the　steps；　surprised　to　see　him　standing　in　front　of　the　black　apartment　door。
