well look who decided to join us. Dorota left breakfast for you, it’s on the table.

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

“First I need you to get up . . . and shower. Your current look and aroma is not satisfactory. Then, we’ll get a plan in place.”
Blair moved over to the t couch and sat down, tapping her finger gently on her purse.

[Dan Humphrey @BrooklynPenman]

The surprises keep coming. First she had burst into the loft and now shes asking for his help? Well, she hasn’t necessarily asked yet. Glancing down at the script she had tossed on his lap and then flicking his eyes back to her.

“So what you’re saying is, you need my help?”

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

let’s talk about someone better . . .

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

not again.

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

Reluctantly, Blair reached into her Chanel bag pulling out a play script and forcing it into Dan’s lap.

“There’s a charity gala for Girls Inc. that I need to be the face of, but in order to do so I’ve been tasked with this performance thing. I am a leading lady, not a director.”

[Dan Humphrey @BrooklynPenman]

She’s too animated for so early in the morning. He grimaces as he watches her practically throw a tantrum.

“Okay——then why are you here? You said you need my assistance, in what exactly?”

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

tables haven’t turned Georgina. you’re still an outcast. clearly you haven’t taken my advice either because you’re still looming around digging for scoop to spill to GG.

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

there’s a new light on the Upper East Side, and it isn’t the sun.

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

true. it’s probably irrelevant though, whatever she is plotting.

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

your taste in classics is undeniable.

[Dan Humphrey @BrooklynPenman]

Steamed dumplings, vegetable lo mein and General Tso’s chicken with a side of springs rolls, nothing gets better than that. Top it off with 𝙄𝙩 𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙉𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 and it’s easy to put a pause on the UES.

stomping, Blair h u f f e d in a mockingly and shocking tone. rolling her eyes at his attempt to smooth out his hair.

“ i resent that, you just automatically assume that i am here to scheme? That is completely off base, scheming is not ALL i do.”

[Dan Humphrey @BrooklynPenman]

Okay that perks him up. Slowly drawing himself into a seated position. His fingers combing through the bed hair mop on his head.

“If it’s scheming I’m going to have to pass.”

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

/ interesting** not uninteresting! 😭

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

for once, you’re right.
however, there’s a lackluster of uninteresting things around lately, and p e r h a p s i might indulge if what you find interesting is deemed worthy . . .

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

perhaps she will indulge herself in a cat and mouse chase or an evil prank for a good laugh.

tis the season

Pray tell. . .

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

today? no.
that’s all I felt like eating.
and before you even T H I N K it, this is not a spiral or anything of a kind, just craving.

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

“W e l l . . .
as hard as it is for me to admit, i need your assistance.”

Blair shuffled around the room, heels clicking on the floor, surely annoying the eldest Humphrey child.

[Dan Humphrey @BrooklynPenman]

She’s absolutely relentless. Defeat was inevitable—maybe it’s time to start locking the door. Pulling the pillow from his face, he cracks his eyes open, glancing at her.

“Why are you here?”

[𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 @bassectomy]

what is meant to be in the sense of meant to be ?
premeditated fate ?

or just like NY, a state of mind . . . ?
