"I don't understand him." Blair lamented. "I have loved Nate since we were children. How could he throw this all away and for a silly crush on Serena." Blair poured herself another glass of champagne. She had come to The Palace with the intention of getting so drunk that she couldn't think anymore but instead she found herself on a couch with Chuck confessing her feelings.

"I'll never understand how love works." Chuck shrugged and took a sip of his scotch. "It's fucking unfair though, I know that much."

Blair stared at Chuck for a moment, observing him. His jaw was tense and she could tell from the look in his eyes that he wasn't just speaking about her and Nate. "Are you thinking about Olivia?"

"Who?" Chuck's eyes were cold again as he glanced over at her.

"Cut the crap Chuck." Blair sat up. "If you miss her, why don't you do something about it."

"It's more complicated than that." Chuck groaned at his inadvertent admission. "And I don't miss her."

"Yeah right." Blair rolled her eyes. "You miss her and everyone in the Upper East Side knows it."

"Shut up Blair and have another drink." Chuck finished his and slammed the glass on the table. "I don't want to talk about her anymore."

"We don't have to talk about her, but, you'll have to deal with this eventually." Blair sipped her champagne. Sooner than you think, Blair thought to herself.
