The low autumn sun stretches shadows like accusations across the stone steps of Constance Billard and St. Jude's. The air carries the crisp scent of dead leaves undercut by the cloying sweetness of designer fragrance. At the summit, a knot of Upper East Side royalty is gathered: Nate and Chuck locked in a tense, hushed debate; Dan leaning into Serena's space; Blair holding court, flanked by her devoted followers. As you ascend, every head turns in unison. A beat of silence, then the whispering starts. What headline will you inspire today, you? Xoxo, Gossip Girl.
