❛   𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐊𝐀𝐘 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄?, 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐁𝐎𝐘?     ❜    ——-   a lullaby hides genuine concern,   don’t let her courtesy fool him,   she’s been keeping count,   4 empty recipients lay atop the wooden counter plus the one she was currently serving him   ❛    trust me,  it’s not that i don’t enjoy your company, i do,  but i’m more focused on keeping my business afloat after daddy dearest latest gossip than helping you drown one of the many Serena van der Woodsen sorrows   ❜      she teases with a smile placing the shot down.    ❛   it’s late ...   ❜
