sed　to　say　to　that？　She　felt　like　she　was　watching　a　foreign　film　whose　subtitles　had　suddenly　stopped　running。　“How　did　you　know　I　was　here？”　she　finally　asked。　Nate　was　obviously　hammered；　but　he　looked　so　sincere　and　innocent　lying　on　his　side；　as　if　they　were　back　in　high　school。　It　made　her　want　to　punch　him；　then　hug　him；　then　push　his　hair　back　and　tell　him　everything　would　be　all　right。　She　appraised　him　again。　Maybe　after　he　took　a　shower。

The　door　clicked　open；　shedding　amber　light　from　the　hallway　onto　the　off…white　rug。

“Blair？”

Blair　whirled　around　to　see　Pete　standing　in　the　doorframe；　holding　a　bouquet　of　red　roses。　His　face　drained　of　color　as　his　blue　eyes　flicked　between　Blair　and　Nate。　He　opened　and　closed　his　mouth；　like　a　goldfish。

“You’re　in　bed　with　that　asshole？”　Pete　asked。　And　then　he　laughed；　one　short；　angry　bark。　“Of　course　you　are。”　He　shook　his　head。

“No；”　she　protested。　She　felt　like　she　was　going　to　throw　up。　This　could　not　be　happening。　Please　believe　me；　she　silently　begged。　“He’s　drunk　and　he　just　found　me。　He　just　came　in　like　two　seconds　ago。　I　thought　he　was　you。”

Pete　shook　his　head　sadly；　as　if　Blair’s　explanation　was　so　ridiculous　he　felt　embarrassed　even　to　be　hearing　it。

“Dude；　sorry；”　Nate　said；　trying　to
