Some say love is a river. Some say love's a silly song. Some say love is all around us. It lifts us up where we belong. Some say love is hearing laughter in the rain. But on the Upper East Side, we all know love is pain.
"The blood sucker is back. I saw her coffin and telltale Louis Vuitton broom on the floor." Blair aired to the group of six who were currently enjoying lunch together. "Vampires don't ride brooms." Nate clarified with a laugh, doing his best to keep Ophelia calm about the unwanted news. "Leave it to Georgina to start a mutant strain." Blair sassed back before Bree Buckley did her best to try and reassure the Waldorf. "You know, my roommate and I didn't see eye-to-eye at first so one night I bought ice cream cone cupcakes from the Treats Truck and we bonded. She taught me how to say hello in Swahili. Jambo."
"Aww, do you happen to know what the Swahili is for 'mind your own beeswax'? No reason, of course. Just might be useful someday on Safari." Blair countered, not liking the new addition to the group but Spencer quickly shut her down. "Blair. Come on." "So you went home last week?". Ophelia changed the topic, doing her best to ignore what her cousin had said moments prior. "Yeah, tried to mend the 'I'm dating a Vanderbilt adjacent' fence. Didn't work. We're southern so family loyalty's really big down there." Bree explained, looking lovingly towards Spencer for a moment as she did so.
"Like slavery. What? I'm joking. You know I'm joking, right, Bree?". The Buckley sent a small smile towards the brunette across the table, taking a sip of her drink to dispel the tension she felt. "How's Serena? Still dating Baizen or has she come to her senses?". Spencer pushed, sending a silent apology to his sister but wanting to do anything it meant to take the attention away from his uncomfortable partner. "Carter Baizen? Is he in town? I heard he was away on business." Bree asked, her stunned expression showing she was unaware of the groups connections to Carter.
"Carter is a cockroach, you can never truly get rid of him." Ophelia groaned, distaste clear in her voice. "He is. Travelling is so important. Bree, have you ever thought about traveling? Somewhere very far away?". Blair pushed once more, her dislike of the Buckley more obvious than the heiress' dislike towards her ex. "I wasn't aware you knew Carter." Chuck brought up, studying her reactions since Bree first heard his name. "Yeah. Our families used to vacation together. I've been trying to track him down."
Upon the groups silence Bree summoned the nearby waiter to order for the table. "She was in Shanghai last year." Spencer bragged before Bree began to speak in fluent Mandarin. "Nate doesn't like tofu and Spencer hasn't even eaten pork since he saw Babe." Blair cut in causing Ophelia to kick her cousins shin under the table. "Well, okay, um, I'll let you guys fend for yourself. If you'll excuse me." Bree walked off towards the bathroom for a breather as the rest of the group turned their attention towards Blair and her insistent need of showing Bree, she was superior to her.
